Gas Tanks

We have been given the green light by the MDRA to close up the first wing. However we have not been able to find anywhere in the plans that show how to vent the gas tanks. Can anyone help me out there?
Thanks,
Jim

My Elite kit #624 had marine style screw caps with a chain retainer. The weld inside the threaded portion securing the chain would not allow the cap to seat fully. Could have lead to fuel loss in flight.

Suggest all using these caps verify they are seating and sealing correctly.
