Subject: fuel caps

I have been looking at some web sites at dry break
fuel systems used for refueling race cars.  I think something similar
that can be opened with the fuel truck nozzle then close after withdrawal
would work.  It seems that the checklist is not a
deterrent for fuel cap
incidents.  Any ideas?  Thanks for any help.


Joe, most of the dry-break systems are very bulky
for us. The nozzle hassle isn't worth it either.
You can get a retainer chain for most of our fuel
caps, but then you will have to set the cap down
on your paint.
