BeechTalk - BT - FS: Marsh Brothers AeroTough Fuel Cap Washers $75-187

Hi James, I want a set for the Shaw fuel caps (4) on my Baron. Annual is coming up next month so it seems like a good project for me. My caps are not hard to open and do fit flush, but I think these will prevent wear on the caps as well as making them even easier to open and close.

Hi Sven,

Yes they will prevent wear from the plunger on the metal washer that is already there. Once they are worn, you have to replace them, which is challenging in and to itself because of the lack of support Parker provides for these fuel caps. The 4 washer kit is $187.

I have an excellent inventory of these Marsh Brothers washers in stock and ready to ship. They give your old fuel caps extra life by eliminating wear on the plunger and allowing for them to be more easily opened and secured. You will really like them!

I have a couple of these polymer washer kits shipping out today. They are an excellent preventative maintenance item for these fuel caps. Pair them with my fluorosilicone fuel cap o-ring kits to help rejuvenate your cap and prevent fuel contamination.

I bought these from James and installed them during my annual. Forget the price - they are WORTH IT. The ease of opening and closing your fuel cap levers is ridiculous by comparison to the original design. So easy that I was concerned the fuel cap levers would stay closed during flight. Absolutely no problem and leak proof as well. Combine with the flourosilicone o-rings and you’ll have an unbeatable combination.

Yes but I do not have o-ring kits for the Shaw 457 fuel caps if that is the type cap you have. Snap a photo of the top and bottom and email it to me at gallagheraviationllc@gmail.com
