Twin Caterpillar 3116 Diesels with westerbeke diesel generator
Just bought a 400 Sundancer 1997 with twin 3116 CT DIESELS. The surveyor found that some knucklehead lost the original fuel cap and replaced it with one labeled "GAS"! I don't want a fuelie making a mistake and putting gas in a diesel engine. Any idea where I can get a new fuel cap labeled "DIESEL"? Even a used one!?
 
Google Perko fuel cap, Sea Dog fuel cap or Sierra fuel cap. Should be able to find something from one of those.
 
It’s called a deck fill cap. You just need to know if it’s 1 1/2” or 2”.
 
Based on my research those "GAS" fill caps add 35hp each, minimum. They are hell on the resale value though. :)
