ABSTRACT:
An insert for a fuel tank inlet and a method of installing the insert. The insert reduces the size of the inlet so that, while nozzles that normally dispense avgas will fit into the inlet, larger nozzles that normally dispense jet fuel will not fit into the inlet. With one embodiment, the insert comprises a body having a central opening and apertures extending from the central opening to an outside annular surface. Screws extend within these apertures and are movable to an extended position to lock the insert in the fuel tank inlet. With another embodiment, the insert comprises a frame, an upper flange, and lower locking tabs. The insert is positioned in the inlet with the flange and the locking tabs engaging surfaces of a wall of the fuel tank that forms the inlet thereto, securely holding the insert in the inlet.
