(Randy Garrett) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 04:35:31 PM PST US Subject: RV-List: fuel placards From: thomas sargent 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 Sargent, RV-6A, trying to schedule the airworthiness inspection. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:24:52 PM PST US From: "Carl Froehlich" Subject: RE: RV-List: fuel placards Most people get the fuel cap engraved.

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.

From: Randy Garrett About a year ago, I had my MT prop overhauled. Amazingly, it had been 6 years. The prop life is time-limited, I believe because grease gradually seeps out and there are no grease fittings to replace it. Grease certainly has come out of my prop and sure enough some of the internal bearings were wearing and had to be replaced. Now for the problem ... the paint keeps coming off. I have had the prop repainted 3 times and it needs a fourth. Each time the prop has to be pulled and shipped to the repair facility, resulting in 2 weeks or more downtime. This is far more practice than I wanted in removing and re-installing the prop! As best I can tell, flying through (very light) rain is what does it. The paint seems fine for a few months until I do a little IFR, then the paint on the tips are eroded. It looks hideous and I wonder if it does anything to the balance, though I can't detect any difference. Has anyone else had similar issues? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
