[C320-list] Deck diesel fill cap

[Steve Weinstein]

 I don't know about anyone else's, but the caps on the fill pipes are plain, unmarked.  The collars of the fill pipes on the deck are marked "diesel" and "water" respectively.  I don't like the idea that a water and diesel fill pipe are right next to each other even though they are marked.  I like the idea of a green cap for the diesel fill to avoid any mistakes.

 All good options. Thanks everyone. 

Rich’s idea seems easiest but, knowing me, I suspect I would forget and pour water in the fuel tank. 🤪

I did not mind because I also wanted the colored caps to make sure I did not make a mistake and put water into the diesel tank. I used part # Z2971 (diesel) and part #Z2970 (water) from CD. It was a pretty quick swap, and about a quarter of the price of the stainless caps/pipes.

I searched Catalina direct and Catalina parts with no success. Catalina Direct sells the stainless caps with the pipes but don’t see the need to replace all but may have to.
