I seem to be one of the very few on the RV or Rocket list that get fuel fumes during turbulence or acro with tanks over half full. I have the vent lines run up and back down per vans plans and exiting from the floor in the footwell box area. I'm considering the Andair check valves with bleeds. Anyone tried this?
I also plan to try some plastic tubing to temporarily relocate the outlets to see what's up. I get lots of air in the flap actuator link holes so I assume that is where the fuel slopped overboard is getting into the cockpit. Possibly moving these way aft would help, but you never really know which way the air is really going in any given spot.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Mine does as well, but only when the tanks are quite full.
