Hi, Al....my concern was this....what if fuel is (for some reason?) forced back up through the vent line? I would rather it went back into one of the tanks than along the top of the fuselage towards my exhaust. Please don't ask me why fuel might be forced back up through the vent line....I don't have a good enough understanding of the system, only reports from others that they had fuel come out of their vent line.

Hi, Dale...I don't think you missed anything....It appears it was I who

missed something....like a vent from the top of the surge tank to one of the

main tanks.

Paul;

The sump vent doesn’t need to go back to a main tank. It may be easier to manifold it to the vent line from the main tank. But I guess you already knew that.
