Loose Gas Cap?

[ulflyer]

I've long been concerned that every time I gas up the cap is obviously not on tightly. Its become loose....or never was tight to begin with. New cap, old cap, replacement Stant cap from auto store....all the same. I got to thinking about why they didn't go on tighter and thought maybe the rim of the cap was hitting the plastic around the gap nozzle. I trimmed a good portion of the rim off one of the caps and that did the job. Now the cap stays on tight.

I've had no problems with fumes or blow-back when opening the cap, but just to be safe, if you try this mod, remember to open the cap very slowly.
