Snap bushing

[rwarre]

Working on an rv6 fuel tanks. The plans call for plastic snap bushings to hold the vent tube. Is the plastic affected by avgas?

Mine hasn’t been affected in 20 years. You just don’t see fuel out the vents very often, so it probably doesn’t need to be a consideration.

Snap bushings

Aviation gas doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect on these bushings, tanks in use since 2004.
