Cheers T87


I don't see what you are referencing in the SAMPLE book you posted.  To the best
of my knowledge the vent gets cut on a 45 degree angle which faces forward.
This is done to create a positive pressure inside the tank during flight. 

Could you point it out for me? Or give me a search term to find what you are referring
to?
