Neat trick!

This was not my idea. I got it off Don Maxwell's website, I thought it was a great idea so I tried it and I wanted to pass it on here.

If your fuel caps are tough to get off, drop a few drops of oil from the dipstick on the shaft. It frees up those caps really nicely! No more busted fingers trying to get the caps open!

The caps should be disassembled at each annual, the little internal seal replaced and the mechanism lubricated. This should avoid not only water entering but also sticky shaft problems between annuals.

Nothing, I repeat NOTHING is worse than a sticky shaft. Lubricate people, LUBRICATE...
