Fuel Cap can't be opened

[333Club]

Has anyone experienced a problem in getting the fuel cap off? It has now happened twice. Both times it was quite warm and fuel was very low. I am assuming the increased heat and low fuel produced high pressure in the tank and there is some sort of safety device built into the fuel cap to prevent removal? Cap would just spin with ratcheting action same as if you put the cap on and went past necessary tightness. It just spins. Had to wait about 20 mins for tank to cool before I was able to open. And to my surprise there was no great pressure release.
Any thoughts ??:ani29:

Squeeze..!!

this has been posted a few times now and seems to be a flaw in the materials. :dontknow: if it happens again try squeezing the sides to help lock the ratchet and loosen the cap. Similar to some of those child proof cap on meds...:thumbup:

As soon as you get it removed replace it:thumbup:

Be sure to push down on the cap when trying to remove it
