I got after changing all the filters and oil in my Mrs. 2005 3500 today. I put the new fuel filter and oiled o-ring on the cap and installed it. Fired it up and it was leaking like a stuck pig. I tried tightening it, no use. I pulled it out and checked the o-ring, it looked okay. I installed it another time or two, nothing. I went down to auto parts to see about another o-ring. I got a new cap with o-ring installed. Put a good amount of dielectric grease on the threads and o-ring. Thinking I may ave overtightened it, I got out the torque wrench, set it to the 25 pounds stated on the cap. I ended having to use an extension, so I dropped the setting to 15 pounds. I go to put it in. and it pops before it got torqued, like it got stripped or broke. Tried tightening it and it leaked like a pig. I pulled it out and couldn't see anything wrong. I can't see that the cannister part is damaged.
So, anyone ever have a deal like this? Anyone have any thoughts on fixing this?
Thanks
