Intentionally or unintentionally you have duplicated the vents in the 601XL
tanks.
My only question about the beer can insulator is if the foam rubber
disintegrates in contact with fuel.

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 :)
