Lemo 2 fill port issues

[Vaptor808]

I have had my Lemo 2 for about a month now and really like it. I drive for work and the top fill makes it very convenient for me when it's busy and I don't have the time to pull over. Lately I have been having a hard time opening and closing the fill port door. It use to work easily but now I need to use pliers. When disassembled it works easier, but once together, almost impossible. Anyone have this issue or any suggestions? Mahalo

Stop putting the top cap on so tight. Just snug will do, the o-rings will hold the juice. I had that issue myself at first with the Lemo2. This fixed it for me.

Just like above when assembling just a good snug fit
If to tight you cant open the fill port

Also, when you have it apart for routine maintenance just flip that top cap assembly over and remove the seal...drop a couple drops of juice in the channel where the seal sits...then put the seal back in and add a few drops of juice on that seal then assemble.

Thank you for the tips everyone, I appreciate it. Gonna try rebuilding it tonight using your suggestions.

I should have edited my post, but what I meant was I have very little down time and am almost constantly moving, so it's hard to refill others like my orchid and billow, with the screw fill. I do have moments when I'm idling, awaiting my turn to start the route, which is when I refill my tank.
