Bob.
Sorry it took so long for a reply, had to find my copy of a catalog.
It is called a Ram Air Pressure Cap, # E-481-000. In my catalog ( May 2008)
it has a price of $37.95.
The tube sticks straight up, but you can bend it the way you need it, once
you see what direction you need with it mounted to your tank.

Does it actually fit (and seal) on the neck of the factory tanks?

Yes, in fact I had to adjust the tabs on the cap because it fit to tight.

If the object of this exhaustive exercise is to get the tanks to flow evenly, what happens if one vent gives a tiny bit more pressure than the other?
I had the factory caps, had uneven flow because of bubbles, put a valve in each line, problem solved (since 2006).............Fred Sanford..N9701

Best part about pressurizing the tanks is that you won't stain the top
of the wing from loosing fuel due to the negative pressure.

The only way we could clean the brown stains of the gasoline in the wings... before we installed the valves (the wings are painted yellow using Dupont Imron), was with a rag using gasoline. Believe it or not, we tried diferent brands of degreaser and soap (both liquid or in spray) and did not work. only polish will do, but that way the paint will not last several years, later we will had yellow and green (cinc cronmate) wings 
we used during that time, plain gasoline from the gascolator test to the rag, here we use Premium auto gas from Pemex, only brand here for the Rotax 912, and Magna (regular) for the 2 cycles...
No more stains since we installed the valve in each tank.
Try it over there might work...

Thanks Gary for the tip. When I use auto fuel the brown stains will come off using more auto gas on a rag and some heavy duty rubbing. The permanent stains are from the blue dye in 100LL aviation fuel. This stuff is worse the blueberry juice on a white tablecloth. Once it is there you are screwed. I also agree that rubbing compound will probably remove the blue stains but when Imron cures it creates a skin kinda like pudding gets. This skin is the UV protection and rubbing compound will remove it, thus making the paint less durable...

Sounds like another good reason to paint my wings blue. I was planning on
blue anyway, because I wanted a dark color to help melt frost and/or ice on
cold mornings--not an uncommon problem in Montana. But I think this seals
the deal.
