Consider that a polished fuel cap will be a reflective glare source when the sun is just right (which Murphy says will happen a lot).

ArtVandelay Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I have polished caps and it has never been a problem. You have a picture? Any extra maintenance, how often do you have to polish it?Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylw314 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hah. The FBO just called me this morning and said they found my fuel cap near the main runway. I'll grab it on Friday. I don't feel too bad about ordering a new one from @OSUAV8TER, since I'm sure it's banged up, but we'll see if it's still serviceable. If it is, I may have an extra fuel cap. Given my track record, I may need it in another couple years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard stories of the plungers breaking or in your case, leaving it off and riding off. It may be a little over kill for an AOG bag but it's a little silly to be grounded because of a fuel cap.
