Subject: | FD Solution for Swelling Gas Cap |
Hello.
It turns out, Flight Design uses the same gas caps as the Allegro. They also have
issues with the gas caps swelling. I've attached the fleet wide LOA that
Flight Design issued to resolve the gas cap issue.

Thanks for the research and info.
My gas cap is fine (just a little leaky when full), but this is good to k
now for future reference.

Subject: | Re: Swelling gas cap |
Mine was not a problem with turning the lever to unlock it, mine was with
The circumference of the gas cap. I replace the cap with one from Aircraft Spruce
and there was not problem after that. I also found a source for ethanol free
high test gasoline and have been using that exclusively since. The old cap
was placed on the shelf in my hanger for the last 6 months and last week I tried
putting it back on the airplane. It fit like a new one and
was no problem to remove and install. This shows me that there is
certainly a problem with some plastic parts being in contact with ethanol.
Thanks for everyone's help!
