[C320-list] Diesel pipe cap

[John Morrison]

I bought a green plastic Perko cap, because I didn’t like the diesel and water filler pipes being so close., I know of several instances where the water and diesel were exchanged, very poor design. All to say that the Perko fits but sits a bit proud of the fitting. Bought it at the local chandlery.
