Ah! :D
101 uses for the BEER COZY!
I love it!
But wait! [Shocked]
what if your beer gets warm!
Oh crap!
quick! i need another beer cozy!  [Laughing]

The tanks are vented through the bottom like a Cessna tank.
the vent tube is cut at a 45* angle at the top and the bottom, it is positioned
so that it is at the farthest forward and upper corner. It is welded to the bottom
of the tank and the 45* angles face forward so as to provide positive pressure
in flight.

I figured if gravity feed tanks on high wing aircraft have been vented like this
for almost a hundred years or so it should be good enough for my 701 :)
