PA28 gas cap
Hi.
We had to buy a new fuel tank cap for the Archer (don't ask) and the shop sez the price on the part (not including painting) is about $177. Can anybody verify that that's really what the little round guy costs? Frank

If that's what happened, you may want to check with the airport administration. They usually save whatever FOD they pick up off the runway if it looks like an airplane part. Tell the involved party to feel lucky that you didn't have locking gas caps. Those babies top $700 (each) brand new. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180)

I just was happy lately to pay $65 for a used $15 part that Cessna
wanted $275. Frank Van Haste wrote: Hi. We had to buy a new fuel tank cap for the Archer (don't ask) and the shop sez the price on the part (not including painting) is about $177.

Try www.asod.com. Also, don't you have the little chain to retain the
gas cap like on my Cessna? Frank Van Haste wrote: Hi. We had to buy a new fuel tank cap for the Archer (don't ask) and the shop sez the price on the part (not including painting) is about $177. Can anybody verify that that's really what the little round guy costs? Frank

Can anybody verify that that's really what the little round guy costs? Think that's bad? Get a price on the ones used for the Aux tanks on Bonanzas and a number of other planes. They are the one with the lever on top, an "O-ring" around the outside, two "O-rings" around the shaft, and three tabs that stick out when the lever is depressed. "As I recall" the last price I heard as something like $700, or $800 Roger Halstead (K8RI EN73 & ARRL Life Member) www.rogerhalstead.com N833R World's oldest Debonair? (S# CD-2) Frank
