I have a 12 gallon header = tank and it had a brass elbow sticking out of the fuel cap aimed = directly at the prop. No problem with 30 hours or so taxiing (high = speed and slow). On my first 3 flights the KR2 1835ccGPVW took off and = climbed out well. However, as soon as I leveled out and the speed built = up, the engine stopped and wouldn't restart in the air. At first, I = thought it was vapor lock as Houston really gets hot in the summer. But = after insulating the fuel system, the same thing happened as soon as I = leveled out at 1800 ft (under the TCA). After the 3rd flight and the = same result, we finally suspected the fuel vent - after some good advice = I got from the netters. I extended the vent 6", pointed it into the = prop blast, and also drilled a #40 hole just behind the 90 degree bend - = to prevent overpressurization. I've put about 20 hours on my bird since = with no further problems. It seems that the AOA was the key, and the bow wave over the cowling at = speed produced a negative pressure area at the fuel cap.

There is a tiny hole on the rod (2mm) facing back, and linked to another, vertical hole in the cap itself. And that's it. Has been working for almost 400 hours like that.
