James, Skip, Randall, Greg, Jim, Shane and anybody else that I might have
missed,

Thanks for the info.  I am looking at the Blue TRF Spare Parts Catalog. 
While they don't illustrate the seal it does seem to be called out in the
descriptions under "Fuel Filler Cap" as "Seal, non-vented".  My friend
has a '72 TR6 so it must be the 725220 number.

Thanks again,
