It comes out every fall so the tank can be drained for winter and goes back in every spring, and the threads and the seal wear from that cycle. A steady drip at the base of the tank, or a cap that no longer tightens down cleanly, is the sign to replace it rather than keep chasing the leak with tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the 2006 and later style.
