Title: Resurrection!...gas cap stuck....
Post by Cirj44 on 07/27/26 at 15:09:06

Hello all,

Finally pulling my 1986 Savage out of storage after about 10 years. It's been garaged its entire life, has just under 13,000 miles, and is in really nice original condition.

I'm removing the tank, but the gas cap won't open. The key turns normally, but the cap won't release. I've tried pushing down while turning the key and gently warming the cap with a hair dryer, but no luck. I don't want to force it and damage the cap or tank.

Any suggestions before I get more aggressive?

Thanks!
