Just a thought but could your vent be blocked causing pressure that would hinder opening of the cap? Taking off the inspection cover might help.
I had a stuck holding tank cap a few years ago ( mine have the two holes for the wrench). I loosened it by tapping it with a screwdriver held as horizontal as I could in the holes and a mallet and alternating from one hole to the other. Once loose and each year therafter I grease the threads with waterproof grease or lanacote - whichever I have to hand! -- Jonathan Indigo C&C 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Aug 6, 2013, at 10:00, Joel Aronson <joel.aron...@gmail.com> wrote: > Keith, > > The hose is probably original (its red), so the stuck cap becomes a much > larger project.
