Hey all,
I've had problems in the past with leaking fuel caps in these models but need some advice on the best paint to use at respray time that wont be affected by unleaded petrol (which seems to be much harsher on paint than the old leaded fuel). What type of paint is most durable with leaked fuel. Im guessing 2pac? but any ideas??

For those that have struggled with the same problem, i've found the push on, cup style locking caps were best. I have stuffed around with putting new cork and rubber gaskets on non locking caps and although they work, the gasket has to be overly tight and wears quickly as a result. (Yes I have checked/blown out the breather).
Appreciate thoughts from others who have gone through this before and found workable solutions
Regards,
Alby

Polish around the cap may help. 2k is best
My bro worked on trucks with blacktop in them and every day they washed them over with kero to remove the tar.

2 trucks one was 2k the other was laquer after one year he said the acrillic laquer one was noticably duller.
If its not broke it will be soon
