Any tricks for installing the fuel caps?

The easiest way is to install the filler spouts before putting the top strake skins on. This is out of sequence with the plans and it might complicate leak checking, but it certainly minimizes debris into the tank. Alternately, some builders flip the plane over (top side down), carefully cut away the outside skin and scrape away the foam on the top strake, pressurize the tanks slightly, then drill the hole for the filler spouts. Some builders avoid creating debris by cutting through the top skin with a heated knife.
