  Hi,
  
  When the gas pump uncle have pumped in petrol to the car,
  and closes the tank, there is a 'crack' 'crack' sound when he turns the cover to screw it in.
  
  Not sure how to describe the tank 'cover'. Anyways, hope u get the picture.
  Is there something wrong?
  
  thanks!

  Don't worry it is perfectly normal. It is no longer those air tight (mr bean's car) type of screw.

  LOL!! its normal. the crack crack sound is specially inbuilt to the fuel cap so as not to over tighten and spoilt the inner tread.
