I have just had exactly the same problem. Only had the car 2 weeks, washing for the first time, cleaned around fuel cap then found flap would not close fully. It seemed as if the return spring was not strong enough. Tried locking and unlocking, made sure that the locking pin was out of the way. Checked the opening mechanism, this is like a little button that pushes the flap open slightly when pressed, if it's pressed a second time it goes back in but the flap just seemed to be flapping loose and a few degrees open. I could very gently press it closed but when released it would flop open, it only needed very light pressure to close but would not stay shut.
Had some lunch and checked Google which brought me to this post, after an hour all ready to go to local dealer but went to check car one last time and it now works perfectly. I can't explain it, the similarity to this post is that obviously the car was wet but this doesn't make any sense to me.
Will monitor over the next few weeks.
