| + | The threading tabs in the tank are molded in. \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | When installing the cap, it may stop at the first "bite" and not go any farther. The plastic cap has a void underneath which gives no support. \\ | ||
| + | If the cap is difficult to turn in, it may have been inserted in the wrong position. \\ | ||
| + | First, try to remove it and make sure the tab orientation is correct before re-inserting it in the tank (else it won't turn all the way 'home' and seal off the tank). \\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The metal cap with the analog gauge moves better as it is solid underneath the rim. \\ | ||
