Aircraft Engravers engraves the top surface of aluminum fuel caps with text
supplied by the customer
The FAA requires: Quantity and Fuel type
What the customer wants and how it is laid out is up to your imagination.
although N-numbers and tank identification are very common.
You can see some samples at http://engravers.net/aircraft/fuel_caps.htm

Barry,
Please give me a chance. Your original email came in at 5:15 Friday after I
left work. This is the first I've seen this email on Monday morning. I have
been responding to all the other emails I received in the order that they
came in.
Up to now we have been engraving the aluminum style caps from many different
manufactures wit great success. We do engrave through any protective top
surface treatment or clear coating to a depth approximately .025". The
engraving is filled with a two part enamel paint and then clear coated to
flush with the top surface.
Tell me about your caps, I would have to see your cap and know what it is
made from to know if we can engrave yours.
Sorry for the slow reply.
