Bud and others,
one more thing: what would be a good way to retrofit a more fuctional
fuel breathing system?
I have a Mono and I built its fuel breathing system as per a building
manual. I have no difficulties to fill it up (some Mono owners need to
lift the tail to get air out before filling totally full). But, when
filling very last few litres, I have to do it very slowly. And listen
carefully that sound like an elephant is sleeping when the system is
breathing. Otherwise it will spill /burble some fuel out and that is
uncomfortable and maybe a risk for blames in some circumstances.
Cheers, Raimo

Steve,
As Fred said, point it forward. I too drill holes in the aft end in
case of a bug hit, dirt from muddy ground etc. I set mine glassed to
the aft bulkhead on the trigear or on one of the outboard floor supports
in the mono on the starboard side. It is not wise to place the vent on
the centerline for contaminates from the nose or main wheel and be clear
of the exhaust. 1/4 inch tube will work OK.
The object is that the vent will positively vent and the holes in the
rear keep it from clogging or building too much pressure.

Hi,
I intend to exit the filler neck vent under the fuselage, does it need
to
face forward to airflow ( using 90 Deg. bend ), straight down or
turned aft ? Or does it make no difference ?
Steve.
