Default Custom Chrome flush mount gas cap

Anyone else have issues with this product? Went to install mine and it only screws on about one full turn before stopping and it is sticking up to where it isn't even near flush.

Its the little vent pipe inside that is in the way. Take something that fits over it firmly and bend it out of the way slightly.
