Hi all,

I am trying to figure out which of these (1-7) are Fuel or other consumable Caps on Achilles engine deck (see photo). I was thinking of adding fuel type wet stains, but not sure which of them should get that type of effect.



Thanks,

John

This one is a M10, but I guess it should help anyway....except for #7

The name tags on each of those armored caps would have said this:

2 & 6 would be "diesel fuel oil"
1 & 4 would be "lubricating oil"
3 & 5 would be "water"
7 would be "engine oil guage"

Removed my post. The previous posts looked more accurate. Hard to go up against Frenchy

Thanks again for the information, this is what I did with it. Used AK Interactive fuel stain solution for this.
