Fuel tank stencil?

Post by evanso1975 »

Hello All,

Not sure if you can see it, but there are traces of yellow stencilling on top of the strata blue paint on my fuel tank:

This is the rear panel of the tank, which sits up against the rear floor riser panel. So, only someone sitting in the back could probably read it.

As you can see, the paint is too far gone to make the letters out. Anyone have any thoughts on what the stencilling might have said??

Wbr,
Owen.

Probably a caution on proper tightening of the rear hold down bracket.
