On mine, I tried fitting the additional rubber ring ring 'twixt cap and tank and it just would not work. I think that later cap assemblies were modified to allow the black seal as well as the o-ring.

My 1990 851 w/above mentioned aircraft style cap has the rubber seal around the outter edge of the assembly. Its also on the microfiche I have.

Charles, I believe yours is missing.
