Their quality is unparalleled.

This kit provides standard aircraft parts acceptable under14 CFR §21.9 for a FAA certificated mechanic to install two military specification fluorosilicone type o-rings on Shaw 531 and 431 style fuel caps. This kit is eligible for installation by a licensed mechanic as a minor alteration under 14 CFR §1.1 and §21.93(a) as it has no appreciable effect on the weight, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics, or other characteristics affecting the airworthiness” of the aircraft. No STC, Form 337 submittal or FSDO field approval is required per FAA Order 8900.1 Figure 4-67. A §43.9 airframe logbook entry is sufficient to document this alteration and return the aircraft to service. Also includes an aviation grade cotter pin. Fluorosilicone can withstand a broader range (-100 to 350 degree Fahrenheit) whereas Buna-N has a lower temperature range (-70 to 180 degree Fahrenheit). The manufacturers of the fluorosilicone o-rings are ISO17025 certified. Fuel caps should be inspected for continued airworthiness per your respective aircraft repair manual.

Mooney owner - "I put these on a few months ago as I began planning for OSH knowing it's going to rain. It rained while I was there, not once, but twice. Everything in my tent was soaked, both times. I was a bit worried about water getting into fuel tanks. I was delighted when I took a fuel sample not to see even one drop of water in either tank. I even rocked the airplane a little and then took another fuel sample....nothing! Thanks so much for removing the worry!"

Bonanza owner - "Installed mine yesterday, o-rings were perfect!"

Baron owner - "Installed them in my 1972 E55 Baron today, super easy and they fit great. Great product !!!!!"
