Here's what I've found for leaky gas lids:

===
for the threads
===
permatex 3J (or 3H or 3D, same stuff just different size containers)
RectorSeal No. 7
yellow teflon tape

===
for the hole in the lid
===
cork gasket
cheesecloth

I'm thinking of using one of those first 2 putties, the yellow teflon tape, & the cork gasket maybe with some plastic between it and the lid (someone said that's what their lawnmower gas cap looked like inside).
