    Anyone else remote Oil tank labeled Gas?

    On my 02 Tr 21 the remote Oil tank fill is labeled "Gas". I had a kid at the fuel dock a few years ago fill it up with gas. Luckily I was not far from my truck and trailer and was able to use my TM to get the boat out and drain oil tank. I couldn't be mad at the kid as I was inside the store and told him to put 20 gallons in. When he told me it was almost full already, I knew we had an issue. And until then I never realized my oil fill says "gas" on it.

    Sounds like somebody replaced the cap. I’d grind the label off the plastic
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    It's on the ring around the cap. But yeah I never noticed it. I need to see if they have them that say "Oil".

    I need to check the label on mine as I disconnected the remote fill hose from the tank to make it easier to remove for bilge work.
