Easy to fit - Proseal.

Great to operate, silky smooth.

Plenty of room for all standard gas nozzles.

Have you had any issues with venting?

Is there enough room left with the pump in to see the fuel level?

No issues with venting.

We only leave the tanks half full so we can fly 2 up and do aero's if we wish - always use a dipstick.

If you are filling to the brim, you can still gauge the level OK because you can't fill the tanks fast in any case due to slow drain down.

We have them in stock and do custom engraving on them if anyone is interested. They turn out awesome.

They are a great value, and a great product.
