Subject:Drip, drip, drip -- water tank drain cap
From:Mike \"Rocket J Squirrel\"

Mine drips a bit. I come from desert camping background and water leaks
are just not okay with me.

The cap is a three-part construction: two plastic cap parts, and an
elastomer ring captured between the two pieces. This latter provides a
seat for the lip of the tank drain outlet. The ring seems a bit mooshed.

I was thinking of replacing the seal with an o-ring, but it doesn't seem
doable w/o disassembling the cap, and the two plastic parts are not
looking like they would get with the program without breaking.

Anyone dealt with this already?
