I don't think the height of the vent plays much in this scenario.
The vent doesn't move fuel very fast, especially if you have a check valve.
But in any case is the problem is that your fuel moved out of the innermost bay.   On Oct 31, 2013, at 12:54 PM, Ted Noel wrote:

Two items come to mind on this subject:

1. How long are you in an uncoordinated (slipping) attitude? I usually fly my approaches in a crab, "kicking out" into a slip over the numbers. That means that my time in a slip is a few seconds at most.

2. The Lancair supplied winglet only raises the vent by a few inches. Is there a way to maximize this elevation? I'm thinking of my Eagle supplied winglets that raise the vent over a foot.
