Max,=0A=0AI plumbed both the vent lines into the top of the the filler ("c
obra") and thence aft to vent. =C2-I did this because I had been informe
d by a couple different builders that the vent lines, especially the tank
vent, tend to burp out gas (petrol) while filling and it's best if they do
n't burp it all over the fuselage. =C2-I can say that it is correct that
I get a fair bit of petrol out of the vent into the filler while filling.
=C2-=0A=0AWere I to do it all again, I'd install an even larger vent li
ne, maybe 3/8 or even 1/2 inch, to allow better venting while filling. =C2
-Filling rate, for my aircraft anyway, is limited by vent rate and if I
try to fill faster than vent rate it will burp back up the filler neck, al
l over you and the side of the aircraft. =C2- Fill carefully the first t
ime to determine just how fast you can fill.=0ABlue skies & tailwinds,=0AB

=C2-=0ABrowsing on the gallery of europaowners I saw few pictures showin
g the vent lines (tank vent and visual gauge vent) going to the fuel fille
