Alan N9127M Heat it up a little with a hairdryer (not near fumes) or hot water - it will slip right over. Some people are not using the lanyard anymore, but on the Shaw caps I always did. I am guessing that they are a lot less expensive at Spruce than LASAR. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/lanyardms27380-3.php?clickkey=4684 Quote
amekler Posted March 1, 2024 Author Report Posted March 1, 2024 wow !the spruce ones are 1/12 the price and longer. Look to be a different type of plastic. Alan Quote
Marc_B Posted March 1, 2024 Report Posted March 1, 2024 When I purchased my aircraft I considered adding lanyards, but opted for the side of simplicity. Losing a cap results in less financial damage than having a cap bang around on the top skin loose in the air. YMMV https://mooneyspace.com/topic/47288-fuel-cap-strapshould-it-be-there/ 1 Quote
