Here's a tip for running your vent line on your fuel tanks that keeps the line out of the cockpit, reduces the number of fittings, and simplifies the installation.
This is a picture of my wing upside down. Inside the root, I ran a double loop of 1/4" aluminum tubing to a AN919-6D reducer fitting that I Prosealed to the skin. The 3/8" end has been sanded smooth using an electric drill and a bench grinder. The end has been cut at a 45 degree angle and rounded.
Many of the Rocket guys are using this set up and it works great. The double loop prevents most, if not all, fuel leakage from a full tank in the hot sun. As usual, all disclaimers apply. YMMV.
