    Before I'd buy a new one, I would make sure the rubber gasket in the cap is seated properly.

    I had a problem with my 09 300 gas cap too. Gas all over. I went and got some rubber gasket material at the autoshop and cut out another gasket and that worked ok. I have since replaced it with a Project 321. Works great and looks good

    Like it pops off the threads? If I recall Husky had 2 different thread pitches for some reason on their tanks. Do you have a local dealer? Maybe they would let you take your bike over and "try on" a different gas cap and see how it fits. If it screws on without popping off the threads, you could just order that part with the part number. Also, you might want to call Project 321. Even if you don't intend to buy one, they were very familiar with the husky gas cap issues and might be able to get you some good info. They were the ones who made me aware that it was not entirely uncommon to have an issue with the gas caps on these bikes.

    The seal is an issue, I filled up our wr 150 last time and when finished saw this seal on the ground and thought wheres that from and discounted it, then shortly thereafter realised it was off the gas cap.

    Its worth noting every time you fill.

    I do the same thing after I refill my bike. Not a big deal to me, it's just part of paying attention to small details when out riding.

    My 510SMR gas cap was a pain too. I filled the bike up once and went out for a night rip with a buddy and realized every time I rode a wheelie I was getting wetness on my leathers. Sniff sniff..wait thats gas! Rode 20 miles back to the gas station and there was my seal laying on the ground by the gas pump. Phweww..
