[C320-list] Deck diesel fill cap

[SARA SCHROEDER]

Not sure about older hulls. The specs are:

Deck Fill Cap-Green (Diesel)
Cap threads are 1-1/4" x 11-1/2 NPSM straight.

And, it is correct that the cap does not sit flush with the intake fitting.  Personally, I don't care about that as I care more I don't put water in the diesel fitting so have a slightly raised green cap works for me!

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.
