Need Fuel Cap Part #
Anyone got a part # for the vented fuel cap.......Thanks Pat Phillips
The AD note requires a vented fuel cap on the right filler.
A fuel vent check-ball type modification was issued by Cessna (since rescinded) which installed a keeper and ball in the "gooseneck" to prevent fuel splashing out in hard braking stops.
The mod was rescinded because it caused more serious problems than it solved, especially blockage of the vent.
A relief-hole mod was also issued for the back-side of the gooseneck, and it too was rescinded because of siphoning of fuel thru the relief hole.
The final and satistactory solution was installation of a vented fuel cap.
If yours leaks, it's most likely due to a dry/cracked cap gasket or a leaking vent check-valve. (Just any ol' vented cap from NAPA won't do. Get the real thing from Cessna or other legal source.)
