I'm not too happy with the standard fuel caps that came with my -7 wing kit. I can't even open them with my fingers. I'm just starting my tanks now so I'm trying to make a decision on what to do. Van's offers the deluxe fuel caps (locking and plain) and apparently the RV-14 fuel caps can be used in a new installation.
From Van's website - "The T-00007 caps are those used on the RV-14. Made from gray plastic (may be painted) with red anodized aluminum flange. These may also be used on all RVs (except RV-12). The prepunched hole in the tank skin will need to be enlarged slightly. These caps will NOT fit the standard fuel tank flanges supplied in Van's kits so they are really only suitable for use if you are building new tanks."

I like the look of the red anodized flange! The early RV14 builders say they are easy to open and very light. Is anyone using them on a 7/8/9? Any feedback to help me make my decision?
