As far as I know, there is no washer on them. The "O" ring is probably hard and not making a good seal with the tank. As for the door, it should not hold the cap on, the cap turns on with ramps on the top of the cap that seat it into place. The 1950 Fleetwin had a separate vent, so the cap did not have the vent in it. These doors were often broken when people put a vented cap on that needed the relief in the door. I don’t think I have an extra door, or I would offer it to you. Both my 50 & 53 had broken doors when I found them.
