Ed, thanks, my tubes measure 5/16th, I'll tee them together and run some 1/2" tube that I have out the back of the cowl.  JohnD

Yes, John, I use some 3/8" dia(I think that's diameter but you may want to measure)  rubber fuel hose and bring the side vent up to the main vent (I may have used a "T" - can't recall and won't be going out to airport until later this week -will check then)  and then to a hose that I at one time had going to my oil/air separator.  After flying with for 2 years and never finding any oil in the  it, I took the air/oil separator off.  The hose now just trails out the bottom of my cowl.

Ed, there are two case vents, one from the center section and one on the oil filler tube, do you run these into a larger tube and out the tunnel in standard aircraft engine configuration.  JohnD
