How the Fuel Filler Cap Works
The removable fuel cap provides convenient fueling access while the O-ring seal helps reduce leaks and keeps dirt or debris from entering the fuel system during operation and transport.
Installation Tips
- Cut a 14mm mounting hole in the airframe
- Test fit the fuel filler before final mounting
- Use fuel-safe tubing compatible with your fuel type
- Route fuel tubing carefully to avoid kinks
- Ensure the O-ring seal is clean before tightening the cap
- Verify all fuel system connections are leak-free before operation
Why Use a Flush Fuel Filler?
A flush-mount fuel filler provides cleaner fueling access while maintaining a more scale appearance compared to exposed fuel tubing. It also helps reduce dirt contamination inside the fuel system while improving the finished appearance of the aircraft.
What’s Included
- One anodized aluminum fuel filler assembly
- One removable fuel cap with O-ring
- Six mounting screws
Modeler’s Tip
Mount the fuel filler in an easily accessible location away from exhaust residue and heat sources. Many modelers install them near the canopy or on the fuselage side for cleaner fueling access at the field.
