My new RV-7A that I purchased from a builder does not have placards (avgas 100 octain) for the fuel tanks at the cap openings. The builder said his DAR did not require them. My A&P however suggests I put them on anyway for safety. What have other builders been doing for placards? If most builders have been putting them on, where should I get them from? Are engraved caps available that say" AVGAS - 100 OCTAIN"

Thanx Very much.

I take my caps to the local engraver, he charges about $18.00. I take them home spray paint them red and when the paint dries I wipe the paint off with thinners. This leaves the engraved letters/numbers red. Then I polish the caps surface. Looks great.

Not financially affiliated, but here's another one to make the choice more difficult... :)

The domain name says it all, right? Bill Esther did my fuel caps and fuel selector plate, and I have one of his fuel cap tools -- he does nice work!
