It should. That is the gas cap specific code and being that your cap was loose, I'm sure you've resolved the issue.

I always get a little oil off the dip stick when I'm checking oil levels during fill-ups. With your finger rub a little oil along the threads of the cap.. it'll go on smooth as butter.

for the filler neck issue, keep a small can of wd40. hit the threads on the cap and turn the cap like you would close a jar around the outer edge. I've had this issue from day one. Another trick is use the gas that drips from the pump after a fill, bottom line, keep the gas cap threads slippery.
