      Ducati SS brings up a good point, and it's not just the low pressure - every time
      the prop passes the aft end of the fuselage you are going to get a pressure
      pulse. Have no guess as to what that may or may not do.

      Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.

      I plan to T them together & connect to the filler cap.
      
      
      I was told and have followed the practice on several aircraft, to run the open
      end of the vent line to a point that is lower than the bottom of the tank(s).
      I run mine down along side the tanks to a point below the pan that the tanks
      sit on.  The theory being that if you are unfortunate enough to wind up inverted
      on the ground, the fuel will not run out through the vent line. 
      
      As Beauford would say... worth what you paid for it....
