S210 fuel filler cap difficult to remove

[welland99]

For quite a while now, i've had intermittent difficulty removing the fuel filer cap on my 210. I can always do it in the end but SWMBO sometimes has to go and find a strong man to help.

The cap is basically very difficult to turn. Does anybody else experience this. Why does it happen?

My one is very normal.

When you put it back on is it difficult?

Nine times out of ten the black seal on the cap becomes dry. A quick squirt of wd40 usually sorts this out.
