Never had a problem with one - but every groundsman has.

I try to keep the inside rim of the holes clean,and the o ring on the caps,but yes they can be a devil. Sometimes i'll notice someone having trouble after a fill up,i go over to see whats up,and even i cant get it on for a while.

Theres nothing wrong with them when they are put on properly....and they don't 'fail' like someone else commented. Don't have a problem with mine...did in the early days when I wasn't putting them on correctly, but after a couple times most people seem to be able how to check they are on correctly. personally I prefer them to screw in tops that sometimes tighten themselves up beyond being reasonable loosened by hand.

I love the caps, just wish my 66 had them!!!

 

I think its a bit of an intelligence test, over the years I discovered that the staff who can operate them work out to be great, those that can't are pretty useless all round.

 

I showed my 17 year old son how you fit them correctly once and he's never had an issue.
