Abstract: A seal for use with a reciprocating rod in which a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion formed on the rod defining opposed walls. The seal has an inner diameter greater than the small diameter portion of the rod such that the seal is disengaged from the rod during reciprocating movement of the rod; but sealingly engages one of the opposed walls on the rod at first and second end positions of travel of the rod. In a specific implementation, the seal and the reciprocating rod are mounted on a vehicle fuel door housing for sealingly locking the fuel door in a closed position.
