It appears that all of us are a bit ‘anal’ about
our fuel caps, and with good reason. Notice, I said “us.”
About 10 years ago, I had my first encounter with a vented
fuel cap. It was on a cub, I believe. The owner of the plane took a
moment to explain the cap and why it was important to put it on correctly.
Where I’m going is this; the guy took the time to
educate me. He could have taken the cap off, stood there watching, and
replaced it; I would have learned nothing and probably would have been thinking
that he was some kind of jerk and that if he didn’t think I could put
fuel in a plane he should go somewhere else.
About 90% of my fuel is purchased at one FBO and I don’t
think I’m too far out of line by guessing that we are all about the same.
When I get fuel; I remove my caps, take a minute to explain the vents and the fuel
system in general, and usually replace them too. I just think that if we
do the line people like the guy in the Cub did me, we would all be better off
in the long run.
Of course, I’m assuming the line person actually has
some interest in what they are doing.
