At a track session last week I noticed two of my friends' GTs were missing the gas cap seal--as my car was when it was delivered. If the seal is missing, rain water can leak past the gas cover and into your tank--causing a real nightmare for another friend of mine. Flip open your cap and look to see if there is a foam seal surrounding the filler hole--about 1/4" high. Your dealer will look up the part number. By my anecdotal count+
only 1 out of 5 GTs had the part when delivered. Why Ford has not notified owners to check is beyond me. Another note, my dealer insisted on the part being installed (stuck on) at the dealership --which took a full hour and a half-- in order to avoid the $25 cost of the part. For my friend, I just paid the frieght and spared him the trip to his dealer.
