The cap would not come off the gas tank. The filler neck turned with it. Neither ultrasonic cleaning or heating with a propane torch helped. So I cut the cap off with a dremel cut off wheel. Unfortunately I now have a slit in the filler neck but I am sure I can solder that to look like new. I do have a new cap in stock but I may use an old one to keep the look. May have to repaint and weather the tank.The tank is now soaking with acetone and a few rocks to shake around. The tank weighed about twice what it should have when I started so it could take a while.
