Somebody (Ed?) asked about the air pressure generated bu a 100 mph blast
tube.  The answer is 0.168 PSI or 6.56 inches of water. This equates to
about 7.5 inches of gasoline, so, the air pressure from one tank's vent
could push the fuel in the other tank 7.5 inches higher than the level in
the first tank.  Add to that a vacuum generated by a leaky cap gasket and
all the fuel in the first tank could easily be driven overboard.
