Hi! Rick,
Mine follows the same route as yours but I have a bottle slightly down from
centre on the starboard side so over fill will be piped back to tank, then
out the back of the bottle near the roof centre another pipe runs down to
exit the port flap hinge slot. That will break your siphon.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

That sounds interesting Graham;
My vent comes out of the tank, run horizontally to the bulkhead behind the
baggage bay, then loops upwards over the top of the fuselage and down the
other side to vent through the underside. When filling, if I get the fuel
level too close to the filler cap, it starts a syphon through the vent that
is hard to stop until it's dumped a couple of litres of fuel. I've been
trying to think of a way to break the syphon.
