creates a suction from the tank that makes the gauge read full." Is this true for Cessnas with wet wings, too?

I'm not 100% sure if it has anything to do with the tank. Mine has
bladders and I have the placard. Jon Woellhaf wrote: "Newps" wrote, "... The problem is that the air flowing over the wing creates a suction from the tank that makes the gauge read full." Is this true for Cessnas with wet wings, too?

The loss of a cap (or the ignoring of the AD that demands an annual check of the cap O-rings) will cause suction to pull the fuel out, collapsing the bladder toward the filler neck and forcing the gauge sender float upwards. I can't see that it applies to wet wings or aluminum tanks. Dan
