I would like to fly my RV-14 IFR. I am from ND and ice can happen here even though it isn't forecast. I am concerned about the fuel vent icing over. Has anyone ever encountered this and has anyone ever modified the vent system to account for this? Maybe I am just paranoid but I really don't want the motor to quit!

Yep - here is my post on my fuel vent modification for the RV-8, RV-10 and RV-14. It is specifically designed to mitigate agains ice and mud dauber type blockage.

You can also replace the stubs with small modified NACA style vents like the airbus use. Works well, much less prone to ice.
