Overview

The fuel vent cover is designed to fit most fuel vents, and will not pressurize the fuel system. The ribbon is nylon with a vinyl coating and silkscreened letters.

Reviews

very pleased with the product. The easiest way to fit the plastic cover to the vent is to place the plastic cover in hot water to soften it, then place it over the vent.

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.
