Does any one know a source for fuel filler placards that say "100LL only" ?  I got a couple from aircraft spruce and they are much bigger than they need to be.  It's the circular, doughnut-shaped type of placard.  The placard is 6" in diameter - you could read it from 20 feet away.  I've looked for something smaller, but haven't come up with anything yet.  I thought Vans would sell something appropriate, but if they do, I can't find it in the on-line catalog.

TOM:IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY I GOT SOME REAL SMALL LABELS AS PART OF AN EAA EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT CERTIFICATION PAPERWORK PACKET.  THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF INSTRUMENT PANEL LABELS AND SOME SMALL RECTANGULAR FUEL TANK "100 LL" LABELS.  I EVENTUALLY HADE MY FILLER CAPS ENGRAVED WITH "100 LL - 21 GALS."  INCIDENTALLY - THE FILLER CAP TENSION IS ADJUSTABLE.   BE CAREFUL HOW MUCH TENSION YOU CRANK INTO THEM - TOO MUCH AND YOU'LL SNAP THE PINS - THEY'RE ROLLED AND NOT SOLID.  IF YOU SNAP THEM THEY'RE EASILY REPLACED WITH  CUT DOWN SHANKS FROM 1/16" DRILL BITS.

I had mine engraved WITHOUT my N number.  IF they fall off in flight and hit someone, it will not be traceable back to me.

Others had good answers. 

Brother Label makers make good labels that meet the FAA requirement, they last a long time plus are cheap to replace.
