Hi Dick,
I was looking at your drawings and a question occurs to me. I can see where the fill necks for the wings gas tanks are, but where is the fill pipe fill cap for the center tank? Was it located centerline just forward of the dayroom canopy? I just realized I had no idea where it is. Strange, I never considered it was not right next to the other two! Please enlighten me if possible. I am just curious. Thanks Jerry

It's on the bridge just in front of the Dayroom, as you assumed. Jeff has it detailed (modeled) on one of his internal bridge views. On my drawing you can see just inside the forward section of the Dayroom, a raised floor section with a cover. This is where the pipe runs a short section parallel to the deck from the bridge to the top of the tank. Where there is a tee with overfill lines running starboard exiting the haul. When I drew this back in 1995 I didn't show much detail because the info wasn't available. I believe back then I noticed on one of Al's drawings a callout for the fuel port on the bridge and assumed what I had drawn.
At the back of the room is a covered access to the center tank's topside outlet ports to the engine room.
