This fuel vent works good on my 1965 Cessna 172F. I used the largest size cover and it works fine. It keeps the insects and debris out to prevent plugging.

Best thing since sliced bread. Ordered 4 for my Cherokee 235. Having 2 different sizes of vents, these fit perfectly.

My 58 Cessna has a very small vent tube. This cover worked when others did not.
Just replaced my 15 year old fuel vent cover (the same as ordered here) - it is a great device to prevent material form entering / blocking the fuel vent
Of the (3) covers provided on the ring, the largest one’s diameter was not large enough to fit over the fuel vent of my 1963 Skylane like a pitot tube cover. Utilized the smaller size and and just stuck inside the tube which doesn’t seem correct but does prevent any foreign objects from entering.
I generally dont do reviews but I have to say this item is an absolute piece of crap. The white plugs are plastic and rock hard...not pliable as they should be. Im surprised that Spruce would even sell something like this. Ill be looking for something else.
