mpg Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Sooo their is a F at my home drome that I was eye balling,,, again. It is n7452w,, Ive looked it up before and think 1975. Anyhooo,,, I noticed with confusion that the gas caps say capacity 27.5 gal... Any reasonable reason anyone can think of as to why they dont say capacity 32 gal? Quote
1964-M20E Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 It most likely has the bladders installed. Quote

M20F-1968 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 The caps, if they look like the usual ones, probably have been changed. I believe the caps used with bladders have a different neck installed in the tank and look different from the outside. If it is an F, it has 32 gallons per side unless it has extended tanks in which case it will have 2 fuel caps each side. John Breda Quote
Guest Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 From what I remember the O & N gap and neck is raised above the wing surface, whereas the Mooney cap is flush. Clarence Quote
Marauder Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Old style cap (Shaw) on the O&N bladder system: New style cap: The older style (like I have) has a wider mouth, the new style is much narrower. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote

Clarence There was an option when the AD came out to put Piper style raised caps on. Haven't seen any in my travels. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
