FWIW...
I flew yesterday with the S1 with the fuel vent elongated to as high as 6 inches above the top of the tank.
and as soon as I lower the nose while in approach for landing, fuel is expelled from the vent at the first bump in the air,
seems not worst , not better than it was with the very short elbow. I think , the main factor is the intensity of the bump.
I had a few approach will full fuel with no fuel expelled as well as a few approach by the end of my 60 min flight with lower level of fuel and bigger bumps that got some fuel burst from the vent...
I'll fly with it a little while and see what I find...
