If the lock is damaged, it can cause the gas cap to spin without coming loose. more
To determine if this part is damaged, press the middle of the gas cap to see if the valve moves up and down when pressed. If it does not, this may have been the reason why the gas cap was unable to be removed without tools. here
The best way to determine if this part is the culprit is to follow these individual steps:
Since there are three different causes of a gas cap that is stuck, you should complete due diligence to ensure all three areas are troubleshot for damage. This process should begin with an inspection of the gas cap itself. here
If you have portable fuel tanks, remove them from the boat and fill them on the dock. Make sure your fire extinguisher is within reach. When you're pumping fuel, keep the fuel pump nozzle in solid contact with the fuel opening to prevent static sparks. more
If you have a power ventilation system, turn it on after your fuel. Leave it on for at least four minutes before you start your engine. This eliminates gas vapors in the bilge. here
When all is clear, start the engine. The same rules apply to fueling a personal watercraft in the water. But there's some additional considerations. First of all, try to re-fuel a personal watercraft on land whenever possible.
Fill the tank slowly to avoid spilling fuel into the boat's bilge or into the water. And don't top off the tank. Leave room for gas to expand. Use an oil absorbent pad to catch drips or spills. here
prlly will look similar this:
The fitting itself has a spring and ball bearing. When the engine is running, the fuel pump suction overcomes the spring force, and pulls fuel past the ball bearing. When the engine is off, the spring and ball bearing prevent fuel from siphoning out of the tank, and stops fuel in the line from emptying back into the tank (helps to keep lines full of fuel)
I'll be disconnecting mine this evening and running a stiff wire through it (it's really just a straightened out coat hanger, but don't tell Bondo) I'll check the connection for dirt and grime build up and give that a once over as well.
