fuel tank caps

Thanks, I just bought new gaskets and will put them on at next flying session.

also make sure that the gaskets seal tightly

I need help settling a local problem. When I purchased my Ercoupe I was told that the fuel caps need to be replaced so that the small hole in the cap points to the front. It seems that the line people who fuel my plane insist that the small hole should point to the back, the top part of the cap is higher where the hole is and I think this is influencing their thinking. Some claim to have been doing this for some time. Someone please explain to me the proper way the caps should be replaced and why so I can pass it along. Thank you
