[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1153771, member: 3828"] Not good enough, Dan. If you figure it out (from what has been suggested here or not) you still owe us the common courtesy of a follow up reply. That's just the way this help thing works around here, and a big part of what makes this place valuable. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] Now, the water drain for the cap assembly is pretty simple. I sent you a link to the pictures in my gas cap castration post, but maybe I should have written a bit more about the water drains: In this picture, the only hole that matters to getting the water to drain from the top of the cap area is the one labelled "D" below [IMG]https://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad4/FJWinNH/FJR1300%20Modifications/Fuel%20Cap%20Venting%20Mod/100_1196.jpg[/IMG] If that hole is clear, and is not being obstructed by a too-long screw being in that position in the cap (it's one of the dummy screws and they are supposed to be short) then the other thing to look at is the two "slots" that allow the top of the cap to drain into the tank well area to go down that hole.
