It should just twist anti-clockwise - there's no secret technique

Mine gets very tight if I haven't opened it for a while while using LPG... then when it does turn it needs a right good pull to get it off...

Molegrips and a cloth...???

Or just manup..... Rolling with laughter Pete

That's nothing, when I test drove mine the dealer let me take it out on my own after I arranged the 7 day free insurance thing. I thought I'd give it a good run for an hour or so, so thought I'd stick £10 of fuel in. Pulled up at sainsburys and I'm looking like a right Censored as I can't get the flap open. I poked and pressed the edges. What I'd not realised is that the car self locked as I was driving so it was locked with the central locking. I'd only got out the drivers door......

Round of applause when I got it open...... Whistle 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

I wonder if your tank level is low if there is a vacuum causing it to be tight?
