I seem to only get it to open like once every ten tries. You are supposed
to turn right until in rotates loosely (which is locked, ie unengaged) then
turn key left until it engages, some kind of snap, then push hard to unscrew
cap. THe last step is hit and miss. Several attendants said it is
"counterintuitive". ANyone know what I am doing wrong?

180 degrees then counterclockwise. Works like a charm and I feel so stupid it
dodn't before. Kudos to Gates.
