Re: is this a vent for the fuel tanks?
I’ve never pulled out a tank to know how that is plumbed but as you fill the tank air is bled out that hole. So my guess is that allows the tank to be more fully filled by not trapping the air. This is just a guess.

well that' a good guess. so i will take a guess at this to and say that's the same thing as the vent tubes for the Sky Lane your guess is as good as mine? lolScott - A2A wrote: ↑07 Jul 2021, 13:23 I’ve never pulled out a tank to know how that is plumbed but as you fill the tank air is bled out that hole.

The vent on the Skylane wing allows air into the tank as fuel is used, whereas if Scott's guess is correct (highly likely), that hole allows air out as fuel is added..

Hi Cessna Lover.
Scotts answer is correct , you will find a car has the same vents in the filler neck , for the same reason.
