<font color=green>Has anyone had a problem with the fuel cap on the 5000 series? I have a 5210 with plastic fuel tank and cap. The fuel seems to leak out. It gets all around the cap and down one side of the tank. It collects dust, grass, etc. Is this just normal venting of the tank, bad gasket, or what? My dealer says I must be crossthreading the cap or am spilling fuel when I fill the tank. Sometimes I do spill a little that runs down the tank but I wipe it off. I do not think the cap is being crossthreaded because my son and I both put fuel in it and it happens constantly. I don't think both of us are crossthreading it every time. If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks</font color=green>
