UPDATE: the part is indeed cnc'd aluminum, NOT 3d-printed plastic! So lightweight (due to being massively hogged-out) and painted shiny black plastic with integral pins rather than previous version (?) pressed steel pin, really gave me the impression of being plastic when I installed it! Just removed it and can confirm it's aluminum Last edited by ZDan; 08-13-2021 at 03:28 PM. |

The density of PLA plastic is less than half that of aluminum, and it's only 65% more dense than gasoline. Pretty sure I'm gonna remove it and ask for my $$ back. They show the anodized aluminum one on the Verus website and here's their description: SPECIFICATIONS CNC Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction Anodized Bright-Dip Black Viton O-Ring for Ethanol and Gasoline Compatibility Yeah, that is not what I got... |

Dan, you got hosed! I would definitely get my money back, that is way too much money for a PLA printed part!
Talked to some of the GTA guys and they said only starvation at half, and one of them tried the fuel door and it didn't fix it either. |

PLA is only 1.65x denser/heavier than gasoline. Aluminum is 3.6x denser/heavier than gasoline. Stainless steel is ~3x denser/heavier than aluminum and IMO would have been the way to go... Plastic is a stupid material choice for this application for anything other than making the part cheap. Quote:

You have to ensure the black seal lip isn't hanging over the tank lip before tighting correct? I had a bad seal and replaced it and noticed this as I was putting the lock nut back on. If thats not what you mean can you expand on your comment?

@ZDan, has your car by chance been included in the new fuel pump recall? Just a thought.
