Gas Cap Question...

[Airman84]

First off... NO CHROME! lol. I'm in the process of getting rid of the chrome package I had to get on my H3T. The system is straight off the airplanes... origional paint is red and unpainted aluminum.
I'm bascially worried that after I modify the area around the gas cap to accept the airplane recepticle that it might not create a great seal and the light will stay on until i put on the origional cap.
I do not want to just make a cover, when I make parts theyre all functional... not just for looks.

I am interested in what you come up with.
I hate the gas cap and I do not want a locking door either. Those doors are nothing but problems. Especially when its 20 below, 50 mph wind, blizzard, and you drop the key in the snow.

Just installed the cap on the truck, havent had the check engine light come up yet, fingers crossed! I'm going to take the cap and recepticale off and have the recepticale powdercoated flat black to match the black plastic around the filler neck. I have acouple pictures, i'll try and post them after work, came out great!

If seal wasnt good the light would go on within 15 to 30 minutes max.
Cant wait to see pics.

I have acouple pic's... the cap and neck are origional, acouple people have said i should powdercoat them black, let me know what you think! I have two different designs of caps, the one pictured is not the one i'm going to use, just used it to mock up because the other one is more rare and didnt want to ruin it.

I would paint/powder coat black .
Looks cool, whats the other cap look like ?

I've tried using that method to add pictures but it keeps coming up as an attachment. I must be doing something wrong, lol.
