The cap on the Alde glycol tank in my 2019 320S is always loose. During trailing glycol splashes up to the cap and leaks out causing an unwanted mess with glycol always running down into the area under the rear.
I have used tape on the threads to try and get the cap to stay tight but that is not a very long term or 100% fix.
I would buy a new tank if I could be sure the cap would fit tight and seal.
Do some owners of 320S' with the tank in the rear have tanks that the cap fits tight and seals?
Anyone buy a new tank and found the new tank cap seals?

Even though the Alde system is not a closed system (it is vented to the atmosphere) it would be much better if continuous exposure to oxygen is eliminated. That would increase the glycol life. I am working to have the glycol tank vent to an expansion type of device and eliminate the vent to atmosphere. Hence, I have two reasons to have the cap seal - stop the mess and close the system to constant oxygen exposure.

When I get the trailer out of storage again, I plan on measuring the tank opening to see if I can fit an End of Pipe Gripper or a Clean Out Plug Gripper or similar:
