[Healeys] Gas Caps

Could you not be losing fuel at the pump, where the line to the engine comes
out? You'd - possibly - only get a leak when the pump was running, but could
lose enough to make a noticeable difference over a while. 
As I understand it, you couldn't get a leak on the "inward" side of the
pump.

All,
 
The car is in a padlocked garage, with an older locking gas cap (and  no 
teenagers). That's why I'm so puzzled. There is no smell of gas in the
trunk,  
and no sign of leakage (under the car or at the fuel pump).

Rather  than looking for a new gas cap, I think you should be looking for a
guy  with an Oklahoma credit card (a 3' long hose).
I have never heard of that  amount of gas evaporating in a week even if the
cap is off.  And the  cap on your car had better be venting, or there will  
be
problems.
