Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
Hi Mike.
You'd likely have to stick the tube out at least 2" to get outside the boundary layer. It would be ugly in my opinion.

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
It doesn't help that I used the wrong terminology...and probably still am... I meant ram air, not vent.
I was thinking of pressurizing the system through the cap with a tube faired inside a blade

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
I re read your email. I also have a vent tube like that in my tank filter. The deal is that without it, and you've got the filter neck full of fuel. The incoming fuel pressurizes the tank until it

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
Vented tab? You don't want a vent there.
Better carry a spare.

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
Here's the set up on mine. Using a modified plumbing cap. There is a rubber seal at the top of the thread
The inside of the filler neck has a vent tube in it that will go to the rest of the system, I

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
Agreed. Honestly, I just want to get the conditional signed off before he has to leave town. My understanding is the venting/cracking only affects the carb setups. But I don't want first-hand

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
Corbin,
The bottle cap is a shitty design. Besides the cap cracking, the threads can also crack. With a carbureted engine, when that happens it introduces low pressure into your header tank and winds

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
Must be something in the name "Mike". Between the two of you and me doing some keyword searches using "food container quart food" I think I found one that will fit!

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
The original container was about a quart size. It came with the kit 35 years ago.
Oh, by the way, with my cap when it was cracked, I lost power at full throttle takeoff. When I throttled back to 75%

Re: Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
You read my mind. I have been walking around the hardware store with mine in hand. I am leaning towards 3D printing a couple of replacements.

My cap like this is tan/brown. I cracked one by over tightening it. Take the old cap and go see what it fits!

Non-vented Fuel Cap Replacement
I haven't made Sam's modification using the PVC fitting yet so I am curious if anyone knows the source of this fuel cap that I have. My A&P found a crack in it during my conditional this week (ready

Re: Flight Report
Love the way you tell your stories Mike, I wonder where that seagull is now ?
Would have made a mess if its TCAS wasn't working !! :-0
Glad your battery proved to be ok.

Re: Wing load testing and max weight
As promised.. I had an hour or so (late at night of course) to read some of the the up-loads on the Weishaar-Doyle LS-1 Canard method and noted the same opinion about the tube spar

Re: Reminder Saturday! Q-Tour featuring Jim Patillo and his EAA Lindy Award winning Q-200. NOTE Special time - 11:00 am, Central Time
We had a weddin’. I am the entertainment! Big debut! Whoop whoop!
Sorry I wasn’t there but my “spousal unit” is a bit narrow about these kind of things.

I am going to have to watch the recorded version. Sorry to miss this one live. I have had the calendar blocked all week but now can't get out of something that came up.
