I thought many here might like the irony here... It probably wasn't the first time, but it was a first for me.
We all frequently see posts that site Vans, the instructions, or feedback from the factory as gospel.
I recently contacted Vans on advice on how to install the tank vent lines on a QB RV-8, since the gear towers are already closed at the factory. For those familiar with this, it is quite an impossible topology puzzle.
They referred me to a thread here on VAF.
The value here is very significant, so I would also like to thank all of you that contribute your time and effort to make VAF what it is.

It is better to add this before the gear towers are closed up but all RV-8QB kits have to add this latter. The tube used for this is pretty flexible and can be pushed in through the lightening holes. Take a look at the link below for a VAF thread on how people have overcome this. There are even a few alternative options on what could be done in this area
