I just put thin silicone on it or fuel line on the tip.  But gravity works 
so eventually the tube may sag
  It's experimental.

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Tank vent


So at lunch I removed my failed vent experiment, cut one of the 3/8" tubes 
to be about 1.5" from the fitting so that I can use it as my LR tank fillin
g line and shaped the remaining 3/8" (or 9mm I think) tube to be placed at 
the top front RH corner. I can wiggle the vent fitting at the boss and fill
 when it touches the top and the side. I can also spin the fitting a little
 to feel when I am just touching the top since the tube is not quite concen
tric to the fitting (to reach the RH corner).

I think this will work just fine. A little sad to not have been able to inc
rease the venting area but we don't refuel these things everyday (I wish).

Regarding abrading the top of the tank, there are some heat shrink tubing o
ut there that are gasoline resistant. Just a matter of putting some at the 
end of the tube and move on.
