I have tha= t problem if I fill too close to full and then the tanks heat up.  As = the fuel expands it will run out of the vents and down the underside of the= wing toward the landing gear.  This of course will stain the paint if= not cleaned up soon.  I think it has to do with where the top of the = tube for the vent is located inside the wing.  Should have been set re= ally close to the top wing skin while still not touching the skin.  If= it is down a couple of inches will probably allow fuel to over flow out of= the vent.  Now, maybe the experts will chime in with the real answer = if I am wrong.

I am concerned that the fuel vent check=0Avalves may be installed backwa= rds or are leaking.  The fuel tanks seem to vent=0Aok and I have not s= een any problems along those lines, but fuel runs out of the=0Avents in the= wing tips any time I get much over a half to three quarters of a=0Atank.
