    Default Fuel Tank Placards

    I have scoured the web looking for new tank placards. I run a 912, so I can burn MOGAS or 100LL. I am looking for something that goes around the filler cap. But I need it to read "90+ Octane (No Ethanol) or 100LL (w Decalin)". I've tried two different custom shops and they both chose not to help me out. I'm hoping someone has been able to find a supplier.

    Here's an idea of what I'm looking for.

    My advice is to find someone with a vinyl cutter like a cricket or silhouette. Have them cut out some high performance vinyl and stick it on. Just be advised that it isn't going to stay on for very long if its in an area prone to fuel getting dripped on it, so I suggest offsetting to the side a little.

    Either a vinyl cutter or label maker can create the placards you desire. I have been using a label maker and have repalced them every few years due to yellowing and peeling.

    0 ok. on my Rv I just put 91 min oct and the gallons with one of those printed thingy's that I made up. I bet because it's on top with a kitfox just be real neat and use a scrippy and that will get you through an inspection.
