[FC] Mod for FC Fuel Filler Cap

This is a common failure of Modern Man,  expecting products to work 
simply because they are new or costly.

Sometimes plain, old, cheap, and functional are what is needed.

I worked on cars professionally that were mostly from the points 
ignition era, you know, points and condenser -- I probably saw more 
actual condenser failures with brand new out of the box condensers than 
with old used ones -- the used ones were old & used simply because they 
worked. And once you found one that matched your coil exactly, you kept 
it and just changed points.

During the fuel shortage years of the 70's, I bought a locking gas cap 
for my FC 95 -- it locked and it leaked and since locking was the more 
important thing in those days, I lived with it -- iirc, the old original 
cap didn't seem to leak just 'cause you sloshed fuel around with a full 
tank, but yes I would agree that it is a problem.  Remember, these are 
vented caps, so they will leak through the vent when sufficiently 
challenged. A modern "sealed" cap will require a vent system, ala the 
charcoal gas canister evap emissions device, along with a matching 
manifold vacuum port and related engine tuning.
