NO NEED TO SHOUT, we read you just fine. Unlike most glo applicaitons you will not need muffler pressure, but the tank still needs to vent or you will pull a vacuum and fuel draw will stop. I like to run the vent line up from the tank close to the top of the fuse and then turn downward in a smooth curve exiting the bottom of the fuse.

Bent Gear,

I am about to complete my first gasser. Should the vent line have a complete loop in it to prevent syphoning or is it enough just to bring it through the firewall, run it up and then down and out the bottom?

Thanks

Just run it out the bottom, no loops or tricks just thru the firewall and out.

I run it up and then down out of habit, seems to have less drips that way when I invert the plane to work on it then turn it back over. Also seems to have less smell coming from the plane when I store it.
