I just found a piece of rubber the right thickness and glued it in place. Zen and the art of BMW maintenance.

I can't seem to attach the picture at the moment, but search bavauto.com for the above item.
That's the push-on-push-off thingy. What I was talking about was the rubber pad on the door that presses against it. I think you're talking about the seal around the plunger.

So just to be sure! Is there suppose to be a rubber thing around the plunger? If so that is what I need. If anybody can upload a picture please do. On the inside of the fuel door there is a rubber pad that covers it and that seems to be in place.
