Non VX question.....
  • Gas cap on other truck (Lexus/Toyota) basically seized up, couldn't budge it. Had to use channel locks to get it open...damaged it.
  • Researched on 'net...not uncommon, and cap usually destroyed to remove it...but couldn't find a cause listed...

  • Tried aftermarket one designated for this truck, didn't properly seal...

  • Ponied up for an OEM.....on 2nd fill-up....same problem...seized up....2 OEM caps failed all within 2 weeks...

  • All fill ups were at same local pumps.

  • Had really hot temps last 2 weeks, one day was 103.

  • Can't think of any other factors that've changed.

  • Any idea what's causing this?
