Europa-List: Rain passing through fuel cap

Hi all,

After a couple of days parked outside in fairly rainy conditions, a check of the
useless water drains proved negative, however after the following flight I got
2/3rds of a sample tube full of water from the gascolator (and still nothing
---From the water drains). Next flight was 2 hrs from Le Touquet to Barton; 
gascolator
yielded a clear sample.... of 100% water.... and then a further 2/3rds
water sample. I'm impressed with the capacity of the Andair gascolator!

So; my fuel cap clearly lets water into the tank. There doesn't appear to be a
rubber seal of any sort, and I've adjusted the backnut to ensure it fastens 
tightly,
but there must be a better solution? Any suggestions gratefully received!
