At one time I had a vent tube coming out of my fuel cap. While practicing a
stall, during the recovery, some how the fuel sloshed in the tank and fuel
came out the went tube and smeared the canopy. From that monent on I could
not see clear at all. I landed with great difficulty. Afterwards I moved
the vent, placing it at the high point and runnig the tubing to the bottom
of the fuse so that fuel could never come back in my field of vision. At
the present time I use a full size aircraft fuel cap that has an internal
vent system which will only allow air to vent and not fuel. Since I now
have wing tanks which are connected to the header tank, any overflow goes to
the wings which each have overflows which are on the bottom of the wings.
