There are no obvious dings or imperfections in the filler ring - it's just like the cap can't grip tight enough. I tried bending the cap tabs a bit, and only succeeded in putting a small dent in the top of the cap.
I'd post a pic of the filler, but on noisy rural dialup that drops connections often it would take a couple days to get a photo loaded.
I'm well aware of the gas and sparks issues - was a volunteer fireman for a few decades, but got too busy farming and decided to leave the smoke eating to the younger bucks. :)
I have seen another SA with a "tall" gas cap - is that the recall replacement? Is reforming the filler to lengthen the internal tabs in the neck part of the recall?

Steve, I'm in western NY, about between Buffalo and Erie PA.
Closest IH dealer is pretty small - LaPorte's in Westfield about 30 miles away. I may just call them next week and see if they have the tool, but not sure they'd let it out for more than a day, and not sure I want to invest a 120 mile drive for the use of it.
