On a tagential issue, I started the process of getting checked out in our club's Cherokee 180 (about the same HP as I'd expect from a 13B).  I noticed during preflight that the tank vents are miniscule.  How big of a vent is necessary for a 13B's tank?

John I agree with all that Ed has stated.......One other thing to consider.......Standard
A/C gascolators were not designed for the pressures of a fuel injection system so make
sure to place it in the inlet side of the system before the pump........Also if the gascolator
has a spring loaded drain valve make sure that if the fuel from tank is restricted for some
reason that the pump does not pull the valve open and suck air !! IMHO
