Would someone know where I can find color-coded deck cap replacements?

I'd like to use them instead of the ones I have now.... blue for water, red
for fuel, black for sewage.

I don't want to replace the entire plate... just the caps.

Thanks!

This might be what you're looking for:

They ship all over the world, but any chandlery ought to have
replacementcaps on the shelves.

Thanks. I have the slotted-key caps right now... stainless. I need to
confirm that the threads will match.

That sounds like good quality gear. Why replace them with plastic?
Don't they have the contents name cast into them?
If not, why not get those chromed, curved, plates with the words cast in and
fix them to the deck next to the fillers.
You could use 5200 if you think your deck might be cored-or maybe even
Silaprene :-)

Heh... no, not 5200. Yes, they do say what they are, which I like. I guess I'm just wishing for
something more obvious.

A really inexpensive solution is to buy a Dymo label maker and an
assortment of tape colors - usually about $10 at your local office
supply. These are also very useful for labeling halyard stoppers and
other deck hardware.

In addition to labeling all of my deck plates, I had small color coded
platic laminated placques made up which mount near the deck plate.

That's worth checking out... thanks! I'd like something on the cap itself,
which means it'd have to stick to stainless.

The Dymo tape seems to stick to just about everything. It helps if
you round off the corners a little before you stick it down.

Do you have access to a drill press? You could make some dimples around the
outer edge of the caps and fill them with enamel.

Interesting idea... I do, assuming I can find the drill press behind all the
boxes in the garage.
