How many of you have drilled a 1/8' hole at the back of the fuel vent tubes [just above the angle cutout] to stop siphoning ????? Is it really needed ??? Cheers T87

Is that hole called out in the prints? I must have missed that.

I don't see what you are referencing in the SAMPLE book you posted. To the best of my knowledge the vent gets cut on a 45 degree angle which faces forward. This is done to create a positive pressure inside the tank during flight.
Could you point it out for me? Or give me a search term to find what you are referring to?
