Exactly! :D Except the vent is as far forward in the tank as possible because they are taller in the front. The low side of the fuel cap is a bit farther aft so you can never fill the tank all the way to the very top. so unless you had over full tanks and were in a severe nose down attitude fuel should not leak out the vent.

The original door handles were non locking. After boring out the existing bushings the new locking handles went in. However that were wider than the old one creating a gap between the door and the fuse. Thought about cutting them down but decided to put thicker weather stripping on the doors which has helped out. It's 3/8"x 1 1/4" rubberized weather strip from Lowes. Went on really nice with aid of a heat gun. So now the cockpit is sealed in the front but the back of the door vibrates and lets air in the back seat (where the girls ride). Looks like I need another door clamp in the back since the doors are so huge. What have you guys done to keep the doors firmly shut? Asking them not to wear those high skirts would hurt my feelings. :) -------- 22 hours of FLIGHT time.

What size tube did you use in your tanks for the vent tube? I guess two question, what size material did you make your tanks out of. I will be making my tanks this winter and the material used in the factory tanks seams so thin.
