Looks nice but it looks like you have a vent hole in the cap. I think that's a no-no for most comp rigs.

The light weight thing is just a joke. The only reason I made this thing was cause I had the time, and cause I wanted something custom. I am in the process of fabbing up an new fuel cell and I needed a filler tube and cap for it. Rather than buying something, I fabbed this one up. Only a few hours work. I was going to make it a multiple lead thread so that it would only be a 1/4 turn cap, but I make a typo in the threading program and it came out single lead. oh well. Not worth making a new one over it.

No vent hole! That is just a small center drilled dimple in case I ever want to put one there in the future, I can just pic up that hole with a hand drill. I will be using check valves on the vent line instead. :usa:
