when i took it apart the white gasket was between the cap and the ring. i guess that someone had that cap off before. Thanks

The white gasket is basically the same size as the ring and fits right down in the quarter stamping...I can't see it being between the cap and ring without looking weird.  ???

There is a gasket for the filler neck tube and a gasket for the baseplate of the fuel cap.  I didn't bother using the gasket for the baseplate as it seemed to make the baseplate sit a bit high.  I did however use some tape between the baseplate and the quarter.
