RE: Convertible filler plug?

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi Herb,

Just wanted to be sure...

I cut some white paper into strips, and stuck it down the filler
I can't tell..

Is this dirty brake fluid or transmission fluid?

I'd hate to have something catastrophic happen because I used the wrong 
fluid ;)
