Hello all,



I seem to have an issue with excessive fuel tank venting on my 52W (two main tanks and two aux tanks). I’ve had over five gallons drain out of the central vent just forward of the collector tank on the belly. I know the one option is to not put so much fuel in the airplane. However, when I want to go somewhere where I need full fuel that’s inconvenient. 



It appears that vent line comes off a tee fitting just under the pilot seat. My question is, if I make the loop in the vent line significant higher that should stop the excessive venting? Anyone else have this issue?



Thanks in advance. 



Greg
