Hi all,

I have a question if I may.
Mod 33 shows the starboard drain tank outlet used also as the return 
line tank inlet.
The pictures I see with Graham Singleton's adapters for threaded 
connections all show the return line going to the vent outlet if I'm not 
mistaken.
Is this recommended, if so why?
- Less return line pressure for 914 systems?
- No mixing of tank bottom debris with return fuel?
I could think of counter arguments:
- Will fuel become aerated and more oxidising and possibly vapor lock 
prone when continuously made to drop from the vent outlet location (914 
system)?
- How about compatibility with long range tank mod?

Thanks,
Jan de Jong
