Be carefull using two different fuel caps! I tried using a cork and
float gage in the left tank and the orig. cap on the left. These caps
apparently had slightly different size vents. This caused air pressure
to push the fuel from the left tank over to the right tank causing false
readings on the float gage. Solution: I repaired the orig. gage in the
cockpit allowing the use of orig. cap on left tank.
