I don't know whether it was mentioned but the aircraft attitude will 
always have an influence on the fuel level reading.
The less one succeeds in mounting the sensor right below the center of 
the tank the larger the influence.
One could measure pitch and do calibrations at several values and 
interpolate.
I think that goes too far.
I don't believe the shape and size of the vent has any influence - the 
air in the vent line(s) hardly moves.
