I need a vented fuel cap for my 170B. It's actually for my Javelin aux system but it's the same cap size as on the wing.
Does anyone know where I can buy one ? A used one would do.
(Am doing the annual and my IA snagged the cap I've been using as it's really an automobile cap)
Thanks,
Rudy

Rudy, tell your A&P that he's incorrect. The Javelin blueprints call for a gas cap that is a chromed, Gates Model 20. This is a vacuum-vented, automotive gas cap. If he needs to call me, give him my phone number.

Eric, the Javelin tank gas cap is external to the right side of the fuselage.
Javelin also had a belly-vent system as an option. (Not req'd equipment, but probably desireable.)
