water in tank problem

[celticdog]

Interesting thread some good tips. I've had water dripping into the tank too through the filler cap. It's made the key lock difficult to turn and turned the inside a bit rusty.   I now always fill at a BP garage where I know they stock the soft paper towels which I use to soak up as much moisture as I can when I fill 'er up in wet conditions. A smear of petroleum jelly around the lock, seal and lip seems to have kept the worst of it at bay.
