Fuel cap Stuck

[jay964rs]

Anyone experienced the fuel cap not coming out properly?
The flap lifts and twists, but something feels like it's catching and stopping the cap form releasing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Is the rubber pipe that joins the cap to the tank sucked inwards ? If it is, just pull off the breather pipe from the filler cap and let the pressures equalise, the the cap will come off...

Undo the jubilee clip that holds the big rubber pipe onto the filter neck bit. Then you can move the pipe out of the way and get at the filter cap from underneath.

The lockable section appears to be mis shaped, not sure how biuut a bit of manipulation with the door key and it works!!
Never been so happy to fill it up!!
