Got the cap back from plating. Went with yellow zinc.


A completed before and after pic.


I had originally planned to use the regular spout. I got some strainer grade stainless steel mesh for the tip. I decided I was not willing to deal with the leaks.


Instead I went with a different solution. As a place holder I used a PVC cap cap and attached a nipple for some hose. This is just a temporary solution but it if works well I may just keep it. The hose may be a bit long. I epoxied some of that same mesh to the cap to screen out any particles from entering the tank.


For future reference to anyone with with type of jerry can, the threads for the spout/cap are 2" NPT
