El_Guapo Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Does anybody happen to know what fuel caps fit the 109a? I measured the neck dimension as 2" and the openings for the cam tabs at 2 5/16" but no luck finding replacement caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xintersecty Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 I did not see this post. I have a grob 109B. When i get to my plane I will check. But as a WAG I would think a Volkswagen cap might work from a beetle. brian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xintersecty Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 OK I took a bunch of pictures of my gas cap. The 10 is aligned with the edge. So the inside diameter is about 1.75 inch The prongs are about 2.25 inches The text, I really could not make sense of it. The magic go juice goes here. My attempt to make sense of the text. Not very good with german. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Guapo Posted February 6 Author Report Share Posted February 6 Thank you very much. This give me a starting point. "Blau" - Is the manufacturer. "Mit Luftung" - with ventilation Blau has probably one of the best catalogs but so far I'm not down to an exact part. But this gives me hope.

xintersecty Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Yeah, the top part did not have a part number. At least you have a good starting point. Good luck! brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Guapo Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 Update - I contacted Grob about getting parts for the noseplate inspection panel and thought I'd give them a try. The panel kit they have for $500. After a month of back and forth they informed me they cannot sell me the gas cap due to "documentation". Good news though - if anybody wants to purchase the 3000 hour airframe extensions for a fee, and of course shipping the aircraft to and from Germany (not included in the price), they've got somebody who can do the job. Gas caps - Nein! Airframe TIS extensions - JA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
