Jack; are you going to use a threaded cap on it? If so, what size is the bung(threaded stub), inside and outside diameter and threads? There are a numberof caps that might fit. Is this a stock J-3 setup, with the float rod stickingup through the cap?--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: End of an Era

Jack, SOMEWHERE I have a copy of the GN-1 plans for a fibreglass copy of the J-3 tank and it shows a Piper part number for the cap with the fuel gauge float. As soon as I can find it I will send you a part number if it will do you any good. Chuck----- Original Message -----
