Have you ever

Has anyone had a problem with having the fuel bowl cap leaks from over pressure. Over the weekend I had a fuel leak on the fuel bowl cap the threads, the threads on the cap stripped so the cap jumped threads under pressure and blew fuel all over.

When I first got my truck the cap was cross threaded. Fortunately I changed it right away. Then I went over everything else I could think of looking for more problems.
