A cap nut would not seal as well. When you torque this down, you have a press fit on the tit that sticks out, which plugs the hole. THEN, the aluminum on the top side crushes against the nipple on the gas tank, like a crush washer. So it won't leak for sure.
That's the idea behind it. A cap nut would rely 100% on the threads to seal it which is sketchy for gas. |
