There have been many people who've overtightened the cap while using the strap wrench. Be careful you don't strip the plastic threads, or crack the cap........then I guarantee you'll have a leak.

Also....be absolutely sure you've put the O-rings in their proper spots, the biggest one closest to the cap is easy to put in the wrong place!
Just to make sure, where does the big o-ring go? I have it in the slightly larger space about 3 theads down from the cap. Is that correct?
