Hi Ashley, It shouldn't be on that tight!!! Stupid question:you are turning it the right way- anti-clockwise? Do you have any grips/stiltsons to hand to get it started. Lee

It does require a certain knack to get it off - it's not a screw cap but rather like the old radiator caps.
Turn it through 90 degrees then LIFT it up.

Ashley, I have found that you have to push down and turn at the same time to release it  Lee
