Hello,

I am trying to find a fuel cap for a Commander 680 FLP. I have a part number, "416-67" however I'm not sure if it's the right cap for my plane. The cap on the plane I fly is about 21/2" diameter with a zeus-fastener type screw head in the center. There is no latch to flip up. This "zeus fastner" connects with the flap mechanism in the top of the tank. The cap fits very flush with the top of the wing. The cap spring mechanism which holds pressure on the zeus connection is damaged.

I had the parts guy at the local airport look through his parts computer but have not seen a cap like mine pictured. Even so, the price for those that had no picture and might have been the correct cap were asking $400,...a very high price for such a simple device.

Does anyone out there know where I can get one.

Thanks,

Ray Mansfield

N91ES

Note: This plane may be up for sale soon. Not sure of asking price yet, there's a picture of this plane on this web site.

Hi Ray,

If you're going to pay *that* much for an original fuel cap, you might as

well pay a couple bucks more and get this cap that I just had installed on

my airplane: http://www.commander-aero.com/caps.htm

The folks at Commander Aero are great, too!

If you want to scrounge an original cap and maybe save some $$, try Morris

Kernick here in CA, Mason Chevailler (who posts on this list) or Jack

Chappell or Harry Merritt, both in FL I think. I have Morris' contact info,

321-403-8813 but you'll have to depend on someone else here on the list for

numbers etc. of the others.

Good luck,

/John

Ray, Have a talk to a DER about replacing the cap with the more readily available types., and fit under a 337. The size of the fitting, PCD ( bolt circle diameter ) and number of fasteners coincides with a standard AN/Mil size, and they are available for around $50 or so, as a complete unit, receptacle and cap. Shaw Aero Devices is what I have used, it will look something like: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AIRCRAFT-FUEL-CAP-ASSEMBLY W0QQitemZ4590621178QQcategoryZ26439QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem If the link doesn't work, the eBay item number is: 4590621178 [] And comes in various sizes, one of which fits my 500A like it's the original, for an un-vented cap.

Life is good. Like you I am approaching retirement and trying to figure out what to do and how to survive financially and still fly.

I now fly a homebuilt and live on the rocket and RV forums. This new format really provides easy access to all the forums so I thought I would drop in and provide some comic relief/greif for awhile.
