I actually have two types of this problem Anyway, my fuel cap started to leak after less than a year(from new) Is this common ? Is there an easy cure ?

Don't fill it so full...

I just overfilled myself, about 5 minutes ago... ;D...

Pretty common problem, although, I haven't had any issues with it...yet. Just teach yourself not to fill it up so far.

Whenever I fill my tank, I grab a couple of paper towels from the dispenser.
Then, leaving the gas station, I stop at the end of the driveway - it spills and dribbles back towards my right knee. I mop it up with the paper towels, and then I tell myself - "Remember to stop overfilling the tank, dummy!". This cycle has repeated hundreds of times.

There's a collar in the fill opening, don't fill above that. And, remember to grab a couple of paper towels :)

There's also a thread on here...see Verslagen's post above about how to fix the gasket and stop the leaking.

I've found that mine will leak if I just gently put the cap in. If I give it a firm tap afterwards, it doesn't leak.
