Keyless Fuel Cap

[Edmund Kean]

Has anyone successfully lubricated the mechanism/s of this. Mine played up today… a hammer with the edge of my fist helped open it.

I dismantled mine and lubricated it. That was five years ago, no problems since.

 

[Edmund Kean]

Thanks for the advice. Dismantle? What completely?

 

[Rick 1600]

Yes, I remember taking it out and stripping it down. Such a long time ago I can’t recall just how it worked though.

Undo the front two bolts. Repose that segment of the cover. The cap then opens and lubricate both parts with WD40.

 

[Edmund Kean]

Thanks to you both for the help. Have some PTFE spray by WD40 so will try that.

I always push down on the front of the cap whilst lifting the release lever, or it feels like it is going to break
