Only to have the brand new fill neck grommet leak.......

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

I wonder what the chances are I can grab it with a channel locks and spin it slightly to see if it would seal off......

Some grommets swell a little when they absorb some gas, but I’m betting that isn’t the case with yours.

Things just got all 2020 on you.

Guessing not given it’s rubber.

Going to see if I can spin it a little and get it to seal, otherwise back down comes the tank.....
