One of the essential parts of a walk-behind lawn mower is the gas cap. Many people don't notice that mower fuel caps are almost always rubberized or hard plastic and that they are black in color. These are specific design reasons for this. Other openings in the mower's body, especially the oil fill, are coded with different colors. This is meant to prevent users from pouring any incorrect substance into a container where it could damage the mower in any way. The rubber or hard plastic cap is meant both to be durable and non-conductive. In the past, mower caps were made of vented steel, which was conductive. Since a gallon of gasoline has the explosive potential of two sticks of dynamite, manufacturers have resorted to a number of wise safety measures to prevent accidents. As durable as they are, these caps do sometimes need to be replaced. If a cut or a heat-related deformation causes the cap to lose its water-tight capability, it must be replaced. Often caps are lost when users forget to replace them after gassing up. When choosing a replacement cap for a Troy-Bilt, MTD, or Yard-Man mower, make sure to select one like this OEM genuine certified replacement fuel cap. It's important to make sure the generator is not running when you replace the cover.
