    Well, the verdict seems to be in. The problem was water in the gas tank. And from what I gather, we’re not talking about contaminated gas, we are talking actual water in the gas tank. I have a 20-year-old stepson who hates my guts and also happens to be an auto mechanic. Hmmmmmm.

    I recall my young brother 'helping' dad by filling Dad's fuel tank from the garden hose. He was about 4 years old at the time.

    Do they make a locking gas cap for the F3? I am not familiar with the fuel fill on them. If they do, keep it locked and the key hidden. You better check the oil for water too! That will destroy the engine quickly.

    It's native. See video which also shows you the steps to close it easily. First, flop the cap down into the hole. Then turn the key anti-clockwise to the 1 o'clock position. Press down either on both sides of the cap with both thumbs or, because I was holding the camera, put one thumb in the "center" and press until it clicks.

    Have you still got your lock fuel cap on or have got an aftermarket cap.
