I saw several Lancairs at Oshkosh whose fuel caps were engraved with "100 LL  14 Gallons" or something similar.  The caps were nicely finished (brushed aluminum or polished, I forget which) and the engraving was filled with paint for easy reading.  No unsightly labels on these birds!

The engraving is available from:

I called Werner yesterday and was told that it costs $45 (includes shipping) for a pair of fuel caps.  He has an exchange program for flying aircraft so you don't have to go without fuel caps.  I'm not flying yet so it's not a problem.

Here's my question:
What are the tank capacities for a Lancair 320/360 with the standard header tank and non-extended wing tanks?  (yes, I'm a dinosaur...)  The manual suggests 11 gallons in the header tank and 15.5 in each wing.  Funny, I don't remember seeing those numbers on any of the planes at Oshkosh...
