		  Seeing that you on topic of fuel caps. Has anyone done any 

streamlining of the fuel caps and did they even notice an increase 

in cruise ?


	


I used these fairings from Murle Williams: 

<http://murlewilliamsaviation.com/gascap.html>  Mine were installed 

during construction so I can't comment on performance improvements, 

but Murle's testing corroborates what others have said about the 

benefits of smoothing the airflow around the caps.

around the neck I noticed and put Rand o bond glue on it and it seems ok now

These Murle Williams fairings look interesting. If I got a pair should I cover first or cover around them?

I got my strut-to-wing fairings from Murle also:

Go ahead and cover first.  The fairings screw on afterwards so they 

can be easily removed for access to the strut bolts.
