My (yellow E85) gas cap clicks when I assume it is tightened but I just noticed that even after that point of tightening there is some play (rocking) in the yellow part of the cap. Am I wrong to expect that it should feel snugged down and not be able to be wiggled?
I see that there is a significant O ring around the the top on the threaded snout on the cap assembly so perhaps it's sealed even though the ratchetting part wiggles after tightening. Or no?
It is the original cap from the fall of 2007, so coming up on 17 years old.
