Fuel Tank Vents

Dear All,

Am keen to elicit any opinions on siting the fuel tank vent underneath
rather than on top as per the manual. Has anybody done this successfully
and/or obtained PFA approval?

Sight gauge syphoning needs to be avoided, why not link the sight gauge vent
and tank vent? I think that should prevent syphoning. (My seat back sight
gauge doesn't go up to the roof)

Rain entering the tank should be avoided.

Vent underneath would be more prone to blockage by dirt/mud but the extra
drilled hole should prevent total blockage.

Any opinions gratefully received!

Cheers,

Rog Sheridan.
