Amen brother. Herein is the most important aspect of flying Cessna lighties I reckon. It was pointed out to me on my very first flight. I can still remember the instructor telling me about it and stressing the importance of ensuring the fuel cap was secured because it's harder to see the fuel venting because of the high wing.

Lancer I reckon it's a function of the fuel cap not being secure. Some of the older seals aren't that flash and to get the cap 'flush' sometime required a bit of fiddling.

Glad it all worked out OK for speed2height.
