Fix for Sticking Gas Cap 5/19/2007


Three screw hold the gas cap on. The ones at 12, 5 & 7 o'clock around the perimeter. I heard before that the cap assembly
at the 5 o'clock position is too low. I tried installing a washer as shown above, but it was too thick and didn't allow the
cap to close. I ended up putting blue thread lock on the screw and just tightening it snug. This has worked to date.


Here you can see the three screws that hold the cap in place.


Here's what the underside of the cap looks like.
