Screw-on Fuel tank caps?
by ray burton » Wed Sep 23, 2015 7:20 pm
I cannot find these listed int he Piper parts manual or find any reference to them online.
Can anyone offer some ideas?
(To make thing worse, the left and right main caps work the same way, but are visibly different from each other.)

Welcome to ICS and the information Forum.
Don't know about "1/4 turn" screw on caps, but my preceding '62 250, and now my '66 Twin, were converted to T-handle screw on caps, available from Webco.
If it was me, I'd talk to Webco!
Best, Don

Anyway - it is a minor point now, as I have to replace both fuel bladders, replace a main tank fuel sending unit and get the the other three sending units rebuilt..
Looking for a good source for a replacement sending unit (AirParts of Lockhaven can do the rebuild, but they do not have any units to sell me)
Also looking for advise on fuel bladders. Best i can tell, WEBCO, Eagle Fuel cells (Wisconsin), Aircraft Spruce and Knots2U have them.
Oh, and I also need two new Finger screens for the new bladders - turns out they were missing...
any PIREPS on the above?

I have always had my fuel sender rebuilt.
