I have traced the problem to the O-ring not sliding out as it should. Actua lly not sliding at all. I temporarily fixed the problem by rubbing oil on the O-Ring but would like to know if anyone has come up with a better solution. Otherwise=2C I will be putting oil or gas (from archives) on the O-ring aft er most fill ups.
