Painting around the petrol cap.

<< < (2/2)

Nurse Julie:
I have freshly painted sets here by Menno and it"s bare metal in that area.

Don't forget the cap has a vent, too much fuel on prop stand and it will find its way out of the vent.

Green1:
All mine are bare weather they have been repainted or still original.

Iv not experienced the cap venting on the 550 as it drinks fuel at an alarming rate.
The 750 on the other hand has spat fuel out a couple of times.

Menno:
As said before; it should be bare metal.

The rubber seal closes the tank on the bare metal.

It is highly recommended to check the rubber seal in the lid and if it is cracked replace it.
It is well worth the money.
