Gas cap won't open

[jerryfan2000]

Hi
The gas cap on my downtown won't open after 3.5 month of winter storing.  I didn't add fuel stabilizer during winter because I thought I didn't need it as I was able to ride it in underground garage twice a month. Prior posting on the forum, I tried to search the old posts and found that it could be stuck by vacuum build up over the winter.I read from other post and learned that there is a vent hose that I can pull out to release the pressure build up in fuel tank. Not sure is there anybody who knows which body panel I should remove in order to reach to the vent hose?

Interesting, sorry I don't know the answer to this.

DT300i gas cap a little different than most of the other models. Try pushing down on cap then turn key to release locking pawls then cap should come straight off. You may have to vent the cap.

Thanks everyone who replied to my question. The problem is now solved. Someone helped me to whack on the cap with rubber hammer as I was twisting the key. By doing this for about a minute, I was suddenly able to turn the key fully and then it poped out.
