Cessna Fuel Drain help

[write-stuff]

I need to replace the drain from my C-182L. I can't find the part number and it's illegible on the part itself. All the parts dealers come up with a part number, but it's always the wrong one. Does anyone have any info?

Disregard. I found it - 84C and the sucker costs over $200!!

Ouch..... I've always said, if it goes on a plane, move the decimal one place to the right from what it should cost.

It better be made of unobtanium and carry a lifetime warranty at that price!

Where is that drain installed? It doesn't look like a wing tank drain.

It's a bladder tank drain.

For that price, see if you can upgrade to the Eagle flush mounts on their STC. Much nicer.

I already checked on the Eagle drains and they were out of stock until mid to late July. Fortunately, we replaced the seal inside the leaking drain and it seems to work fine now. Whew!

Oh that's a bummer. They're nicer. But hey, in
the end it's just a sump valve and I'm glad the seal worked! Wonder why Eagle is so far behind?
