I would like to know how many folks have installed the Newton fuel caps that Van's sells as a retrofit for tanks that are already built. It seems that most, or all, of these that are installed on RV-10's have an issue with fuel venting out the key slot in flight when the tanks are filled to the point that the fuel is in contact with the bottom of the cap.
I talked to a Harmon Rocket owner/builder a couple of weeks ago that had these caps and he says he gets no fuel siphoning out the key slot and always fills his tanks to the top.
So, I would like to know if this is a problem specific to the RV-10, or if those who have installed them on other RV models have the problem.
