It turns out, Flight Design uses the same gas caps as the Allegro. They also have issues with the gas caps swelling. I've attached the fleet wide LOA that Flight Design issued to resolve the gas cap issue.

I replace the cap with one from Aircraft Spruce and there was not problem after that. I also found a source for ethanol free high test gasoline and have been using that exclusively since. The old cap was placed on the shelf in my hanger for the last 6 months and last week I tried putting it back on the airplane. It fit like a new one and was no problem to remove and install. This shows me that there is certainly a problem with some plastic parts being in contact with ethanol. Thanks for everyone's help!
