Hi Harry !
I had mine set up left & right - also drilled them out a bit,
to 1/16"... I also drilled two 1/8"+ holes in the top of the
filler necks, on the sides, so they would be sheltered from
wind & rain by the lip of the tank cap, but open to vent.
That arrangement is still flying happily, over 18 years later !
Never had a problem with fuel flow ...
That was early days, so no cross vent tube (definitely a
good idea ! ), and no inverted "J" tubes in the fairings over
the gap between wing & fuse ... (at least one is good ..)
Would do those today ...

Hi Gang,
Getting ready to install the fuel filler necks in my tank top skins.
Noticed that the fuel caps have two vent holes opposite each other.
Should the filler necks be installed so that the cap vent holes are facing
leading edge/trailing edge, or should they be facing wing root/wing tip?
Or does it matter?
Thanks for the help.
