Nick

 When anyone does something not so right I feel it  "may" be wise to pass it on.

 today I was near Wolk field (Wi) and realised I had  forgotten to lock my right side fuel cap.  Having gone 60 miles and blowing  out 9 gal of fuel into space it then got my attention. I am still hear to  talk about it, no fire and I made it back ok.  When I realized the  issue I drew the fuel from the right tank and reduced airspead, this did stop  fuel loss.

 I have a habit of leaving my caps lose when topped  in the hanger to stop expansion of fuel to seals. I leave a "reminder" on the  left wing but forgot the right side,

 good news is I walked the runway when I returned  and found the cap near the end of the runway where I would be at about 200 ft  and about 80 mph.
