Title: Help me identify this fuel cap
Post by: kwiatkma on May 19, 2008, 06:55:32 PM
OK so I need some help Identifying a fuel cap in my Long-EZ that I'm restoring. The caps either need to replaced or need to find another cap that will fit in the receptacle. They use a one piece rubber grommet that gets expanded when the lift tab is depressed. Any case the pictures tell the story better than I can...The outer ring size is 3" while the inner ring size is around 2 5/8". HELP!

Waiter,
I just ordered (and Received the Usher fuel caps) from Aircraft Spruce and they aren't those..... which model do you think it is? I don't want to keep ordering and returning fuel caps to Aircraft Spruce! To be more specific I thought they were model: UD-3 Usher cap.

Aircraft Spruce # 10450-1. I use the same one on my LongEZ. Gaskets are #10449
Call them. When I checked their web site, the cap part number wasnt listed, but the gasket # looks oK.
The new gasket # is 05-01393, runs about $9

One more note. If your caps with the gasket you show in your picture are ever exposed to auto gas they will swell and you will have a heck of a time getting them back in the filler hole. the new caps use a expandable viton O ring. NO PROBLEM
