I had a lineman put one of my fuel cap keys in his pocket and the key was lost somewhere between his pocket and his washing machine. So, I found a site that has the exact fuel cap key, precut, and had a few sent to me. $8.87/key w/free shipping!

Thank you (Username Protected). We needed some extra keys for the airframe and it was a serious production. The service centers including EMB owned, couldn't provide additional keys. We had to go through Brazil, which took a few months and then have blanks cut locally by a specialty locksmith. It's an unusual blank and wasn't available from any of the online shops we could find. Textron knows the key based on serial number and just sends you copies for your airplane. Not sure why this isn't done for EMB.

9023 was the code on the side of my key and it came precut from EasyKeys. It was really too easy

On a related note, the airplane key is from a Brazilian company Papaiz, model "Papaiz 10F". I have a few blank keys if anyone needs one. The company I bought them from is out of business, but trying to find a new source.

Took me close to two years to get keys. Only 1 key came with the plane. My former FSR couldn’t make it happen and two service centers couldn’t.

Finally, during the 10 year, Naples Jet Center made it happen. No idea how!

(Username Protected), based on (Username Protected)'s experience you should hold those blanks for now and auction them off.

This is good stuff to know. I get asked often how to get new keys. Hello (Username Protected) and (Username Protected)!

Got 2 of the keys made at Easykeys.com $17.74 including shipping. They work - not as good as the original - but they do work.

But there is someone who makes a fuel cap for the Phenom that doesn't require a key. The guy in the hangar next to me bought one from Yellowstone Jet Center but they probably picked it up from a vendor. Anyone know who it might be?

I could probably see a use for the locking caps if you leave the country, but most of the time I'd like the fuel truck to be able to put on fuel without me standing there with the key. So the caps without locks would really be nice.

On my Phenom 100 the previous owner had inserted the key and unlocked the cap, and then cut the key off to make it flush with the rest of the cap. So my fuel caps were permanently unlocked.

[Username Protected]

It is my understanding that the fuel caps from Textron fit on the Phenom. I took a plane through a recent PPI and it had the Textron caps installed. Chris Grinnell would have more details.

Word ‘round the campfire is: You can buy them straight from Embraer through an MRO.

[Username Protected]

I was just quoted $1761 today for 2 fuel caps. Ouch!

[Username Protected]

As (Username Protected) wrote the key provider for the cabin keys is out off business. Naples Jetcenter is not an option. Did anybody found a way to make a copy for a Phenom 100 key? (Username Protected) keys are unfortunately for a Phenom 300.

My local locksmith shop did not have any blanks for the Euro Locks that matched my keys (100EV), so I googled euro locks and found a company in Canada that was able to send me the correct keys based off the number on it. Don’t recall the price, but it was not too bad. Sometime after that, a friend loaned me his lock picking set and it took me about 5 minutes to have both locks opened. I can still lock them if needed, just will need to pick them again to re-unlock.

[Username Protected]

Is this normal? The plane I’m looking at has the (Username Protected)me thing going on?

On my Phenom 100 the previous owner had inserted the key and unlocked the cap, and then cut the key off to make it flush with the rest of the cap. So my fuel caps were permanently unlocked.

A few operators did this, so not too unusual. Just now you cannot relock them unless you can get the broken key out.

Hi (Username Protected),
We’ve got a Phenom 300 but no Keys for our fuel caps. Are all Phenom
keys the (Username Protected)me if I contact your source. Or where do I find a serial # for
someone to cut keys for me? Thanks, Steve

[Username Protected]

Hi (Username Protected), we’ve got a Phenom 300 and no keys were provided when we purchased it.
Both caps are locked and I’d love to have at least (1) key if I ever get in a situation
where single point isn’t available. If you can help, thank you.

We've got a P100EV, and the locksmith was unable to get blanks either - We purchased the EasyKeys mentioned above and they worked really well; very inexpensive too!

I found a local locksmith and he was able to cut keys (ILKO) brand for me. Shouldn't be that hard to replace these but at least now I was able to get some made..
