- I went with the same style of fuel vents used on the Rocket (RV modified with larger engine etc.)
- The standard Vans vent arrangement have more complicated plumbing and run through the cockpit. The rocket vents are all contained in the wing root.
- I added a mounting tab and an extra platenut then cut out the wing root fairing so the fairing can be removed with out having to disconnect the vent line.
- I'm using JD Air's streamlined fuel vents and I would recommend them.
- My vents are in slightly different locations on each side. The left side was more complicated due to having to fit in with the aerobatic fuel line arrangement.
- The small tubing was easy to work with. I used some 4" PVC pipe as a form for the coils.
- I also spent some time organizing the shop because we will be moving the wings back to storage for a while.
