I'd be interested to know whether the bayonet fixings can be improved, need replacement washers that may be missing etc... and indeed do people adopt any other tactics other than just being generally careful?
On thing I am an advocate of for scuttle tank cars is have the original fuel filter in place. It helps break the motion wave up on the petrol surface thereby keeping a lot of pressure of the cap seal.
