With fuel delivery being the number one problem with early flights of experimentals Im extremely concerned that mine is properly installed.
My question concerns the tank vent lines.
From the print it appears that the vent connection between the tank and fuselage line drops in elevation a little from the tank which Im afraid could cause it to trap any liquid that got into the line before it loops up to the top of the fuselage and back down to the vent. I would think you would want any liquid caught in the line to either drain out the vent or drain back onto the tank. But then I got to thinking maybe a trap is supposed to be there. Any definitive thoughts? Something simple like this done wrong could make for a bad day.
