I rode daily and parked in the sun exclusively for over four years after buying it new and that was never enough to cause it. The engine had to be parked REALLY hot… like, ridden hard and not simply idled. The fan may blow for a bit after turning it off but much of that remaining heat will make its way up into the tank. Because it seems find for a few blocks you might not make the connection even if it happens to you. Have you ever had an unexplained stall?

The “ring” it seals against is incomplete… C-shaped instead of ring-shaped. It is supposed to be ring-shaped. The material is white and plastic-like… not compressible like a rubber O-ring. You can seat it all the way against the remnant of that ring and fuel will still make its way out the missing part of the ring. The incomplete ring is holding it open and preventing a seal.
