Don,

In your post you said " I for one must take exception to something like this(notch in the filler face), which was done for no logical reason whatsoever.

Perhaps you missed it, but we stated that the manufacturer put it there so it would work with a vented or non-vented cap. That is a logical reason, not a random alteration for no reason at all. Many of the items we make differ in significant ways from the original, many valves are stainless, main/rod bearings have different (better) alloys, gaskets are cork/rubber rather than cork, fuel pumps have modern diaphragms, pistons have Teflon type coatings etc etc AND fuel tanks have a notch to prevent fuel starvation if the wrong cap is used.

Fuel starvation/stalling are dangerous and can trigger a recall in new cars, we take safety very seriously.

As our cust service personnel mentioned, if the notch is not to your liking you can fill it in with an epoxy, no more than a 20 minute job.
