I Believe the the plastic cap has swelled or expanded to the point that it can't be removed with out the use of pliers. I thought that it might be the O ring that was causing the problem, so I removed the O ring and tried putting the gas cap on. No luck. It was still just as tight. If anyone has had this problem and knows a fix, please let me know.

It leaked and was difficult to remove. I replaced it with the non-lockable version from the factory. It's been ok for 6 years. I have always used 95 octane for the 100hp engine. Does anyone use ethanol and has it caused any problems to the lining of the fuel tank of any other fuel parts?
