That is good information, but more importantly, did the service manager tell you how many times the gas cap needs to "click" before it is properly closed? I have been told three times, but am starting to think it may be two times?!?

Yea, I read that somewhere too...you should "click it" three times. BTW, that's probably why my 2014 Low Rider had a rattling gas cap, clicking it too much.
