This and replacing the hard Viton o-rings with soft durometer silicone o-rings makes them work like butter.

I have the newton caps on our plane.

They're locking, really like them. My only issue was getting keys.
Bill not sure why you think red silicone o-rings don't work with petro fluids, but they do although I'm sure Viton is a better choice, but not available under 70 durometer. I work around the corner from an o-ring distributor. I walk in, show them what I want, and they hook me up. In this case I handed them a fuel cap and told them I wanted softer o-rings.
Matt,
I really like those Newtons, but I don?t want a locking cap. Do you know if they make a non-locking cap that would fit the stock flange/filler neck. Basically something that would just be a replacement for the stock Vans caps?
