I'm always afraid the debris that collects under the fuel cap is going to fall into the fuel tank. I've thought about putting a ziplock bag and a rubber band around it to keep it clean. Anybody got a better idea?

I have never noticed anything on the bottom of my fuel cap, but I don't do any mowing with my L3901DT, but I do chip wood and there is a lot of wood dust that is in the air. Do you mow with your L3800?

Yes. Mow, disk, grading.

Might work, but better not get rubber band too tight. Might not let cap breathe.
What 'Cat said - if you get it too tight, it can actually stall the tractor if there is no air into/out of the cap.

Common problem for the "Runs for 20 minutes, then quits" questions.....
