Is their any logic to some of the things that people engrave on their gas caps?
I understand putting "100LL Only", or "AVGAS". The reasoning is so the wrong stuff won't be accidentally put in.
I understand putting your N number on, in case a Cap gets "lost".
I understand open/close positions and/or directions, for people who don't know how to use the cap. I would question why they are filling my airplane then, so I don't agree with that logic, but I can understand it.
Things I don't understand the reasoning behind at all, are:
- Capacity (e.g. "21 US Gallons")
- Aircraft type (e.g. "RV-8")
Can anyone help me understand why? Have any of you seen other things there, and thought "That's a good idea!" ?
