I would be curious if and where the seal is actually being made. Does putting a straight edge over the tank opening show any kind of gap?

The cap sealing surface looks like it might be a fairly hard material such as a gasket cardboard or some such. Looking at the tank photo, it appears the outer rim would be where the cap seals and if so, is there enough of a taper as the filler tube rolls to form the outer rim to leave any kind of gap at the inner edge of the two notches? I wonder if a cap with a softer rubber surface might be able to mold better and be forced into the notches a bit tighter.
