A fuel cap includes an interior closure body and means for effectuating a sealing contact between the closure body and the filler neck and maintaining the sealing contact through a degree rotation of the body in a cap removal direction up to at least approximately 20°. The means for effectuating a sealing contact and maintaining the sealing contact may include a gasket surrounding the closure body whose configuration and material formation are such that the seal is maintained. Alternatively, the means for effectuating a sealing contact and maintaining the sealing contact may include a traditional gasket surrounding the closure body and a spring surrounding the closure body, positioned above the gasket and configured to bias the gasket downward.
