Hi, yesterday I "rebuilt" both of my fuel caps due to a broken roll pin. I ordered all new gaskets and even the main pin / latch assembly. I figured 20 years old, so $40 in parts to rebuild them was money well spent.
I assembled the caps and incrementally tightened the bottom half of the cap and lock nut until the cap would not spin in the tank opening when the latch was in the down / closed position (one of which takes quite a bit of effort to push down).
Today I flew after refuelling, and the result was blue streaks from both fuel caps.
What did I do wrong? Would lube stop the leaking?
