Custom Engraved Fuel Caps
Recently I had the nice gift from a friend of these custom engraved
fuel caps. They were done by Bill
at http://www.rvengraving.com/
which is based Independence, OR. Initially when I build the -10, I was
trying to save money and just had plain caps, and then put on P-Touch
labels with the required markings
of 100LL and the gallons. This worked fine, although I found that
the caps definitely need an annual
lubrication of the O-Rings in the stem and around the seal. But I liked
other people's engraved caps,
if for no other reason than vanity. It also gives you a cap that is
YOUR cap, so nobody would want
to steal it, as it would be traceable back to you. So when I got this
gift, I was pretty pleased. Now I
also have a pair of old white caps that I can keep on hand for quick
spares, should I need them.
The photo doesn't do it justice. This is just a quick shot that I
took before I even cleaned anything up
after a trip, and you can tell I chipped my paint a bit around the tank
opening. So goes life.
