Sticky subject...

Any products ya'll like for removing sticky residue left over from Velcro and tape on the interior panels/wing root panels/floorboards? Also, my fuel caps are incredibly tight and difficult to screw and unscrew. Thoughts? Thanks.

This stuffs the best. I get it from local sign shop. It takes off all the residue and won't mess with paint. I even used it on the silver to get old N numbers off. I'm sure you can google it.

Slather some fuel lube on the gaskets of your fuel caps Andrew. Usually does the trick. Also don't be afraid to crank on the vent tubes. They are stainless and welded on...

On the fuel caps there if you look at the bottom there are two bits that stick down 180* from each other. It is possible to squeeze them towards each other slightly using a pair of channel lock pliers. Don't go too far though or the cap may not stay on!

Fuel lube did the trick. Thanks!

Fuel lube worked wonders on my fuel caps. And now the vent tubes work as handles without fear of breaking them off.

Its called EZ Turn and you can source it from Aircraft Spruce I know for a fact, and probably a bunch of other places.

Its is a lubricant that won't break down when immersed in fuel. It is VERY sticky.
