While quality checking my QB tanks with the bore scope this was seen on both tanks at the filler cap end. the vent tubing cut off has reduced the ID considerably with no rework to open it up = using deburr tool. Are others seeing this and have you tried to open up - could be a safety of flight at full fuel flow? I thought maybe a #30 drill through the rear baffle and guided through both sides of the tube .25 inch from the end, then seal the baffle with a closed end pop rivet and sealer?

These tanks have also had the following issues:
- #6 plate nuts in all the fuel sender screw locations
- small leak in rear baffle seam R\S bottom
- loose B nut vent line L\S
- rivet heads not sealed over on drain and feed flange both tanks
I've included a pic of the "inspector" who passed these tanks if anyone needs a laugh on a Friday. thanks
