Bud,
I measured my cap at the hangar yesterday and it looks like a 65mm dia
cap so take me off your list for the 70mm cap.

To all owners and operators.
I received a call from a client who inadvertently misplaced his gas
cap. His kit is a about a 2001 XS and Europa-Aircraft (2004) does not
have stock on these older caps.
Come to find out, the caps changed in or about 2003. All caps on
newer XS kits have a smaller cap and ring (65mmOD).
What to check.
If you have a fuel cap supplied with your kit made by SPRL that
measures 70 mm OD on the gray cap, these caps are no longer in
production and the new 65 mm caps do not fit properly. Aircraft Spruce
and Wicks do not have any old style caps in inventory.
Classic caps and the newer XS kits are available but the cap and
flange have to be bought at an average price of about $60-$70. On the
older pre 2004 kits if you have the 70 mm cap and you wish to upgrade to
the newer style, you will have to cut the fuel ring out and replace.
Not fun especially since the diameters are different.
Please review the pdf document attached for details on the
differences.
I am putting together a special order for my Custom Flight Clients
for the older 70 mm caps through Newton SPRL. The price is reasonable
and less then current retail. I highly recommend that older XS kit
owners purchase a spare in the unlikely event your cap may disappear.
We are not supplying the key lock. This is a one time shot as it is
coming out of my pocket for the R&D. I cannot expect the current Europa
Company to support these pre 2004 kit fuel caps as it is not
economically viable to do so.
However, determined owners like myself will attempt to make a
special order through the manufacturer happen to keep my clients happy
and supplied. You are all welcome to piggy back on my efforts and
research.
Email or call in your order to me direct, not through the Matronics
site please so as not to clutter up the site.
