OK, in with the dealer today and spoke with the mechanic who took the pump out, apparently the tank is pressurized and when you remove the ring this can release the pressure and distort the opening of the tank meaning that you cannot put a ring back on the tank (so he is confirming that it is...

I am fairly sure that it is the threads on the tank that they are saying are distorted. What I cannot understand is that I have now found a number of videos where the plastic retaining ring has been reused and fits without issue. It would appear that this is the same tank as used from 2012+...
