Bill, I once filled my wing tanks to the brim. When i turned the plane the fuel ran down the wings, so i don't fill the tanks quite so full anymore. The caps have a hole that directly vents the tanks. air and fuel can travel both ways. I suggest leaving two inches space in the tanks to prevent fuel from sloshing out. Remember the machines were designed before the EPA existed. so one can smell fuel when standing near the tanks. Watch that smoker. Larry C.
