| I have had two failures of the gas cap. it is a non-vented gas cap with a ratcheting mechanism. there is a rubber seal that is suppose to seal the gas cap to the filler neck when the cap is tightened so the rachet clicks three times. the plastic screw thread on the cap is galling. the cap does not tighten and seal the tank before the rachet begins to click. i believe a combination of wear and chemical attack is causing the threads to bind in the filler neck. when the cap does not seal, i can smell gasoline fumes coming from the tank when i stop and the window is down. this is both a fire hazard and needless release of voc's to the envirnment. i will replace the cap myself, but if this problem is common to these gas caps they should all be replaced. *ak | |||
