Well, if a partially open cap solved the problem, then the other solution is to get another cap. The bad repo caps have a center that moves when you tighten the cap, and the vent holes mis align and shut off the air much like a ball valve shuts off a liquid. They make a nifty hockey puck, small frizbee or moving target. I did see one that had been drilled all the way through with a 1/16th bit, but some gas will spurt out over the tank when its full.
