Thanks for the response.  Man o Man = what a cool looking panel on the bottom of your plane Gary.  That = was some really nice vent and glass work.  But, since mine is = mounted in a similar fashion to Jim's I will try and copy his method = which is really awesome and practical.  Plus, since I don't have = any glass work experience, I think that I can fashion up something = close.  

By the way Jim, what is that = small tube angling back drain?  My goal is to get the drain for the = fuel to angle back away from the nose gear wheel pant.  I hate that = every time I prime it gets stained fuel on it.  I think for hot = starts my simple solution is to turn the nose wheel before I shut = down.

Thanks for the great detail and = explanation = Gents.
