I'm surprised there isn't more discussion here about fuel cell vent lines. I have one of those aluminum RCI fuel cells with the ball-style tipover valve in the vent. I've routed my vent line from the tipover valve down and aft, through a pigtail loop, and then exiting behind the license plate. See the attached photos.
My question is this: Since the tipover valve is already present in the vent, do I really need to pigtail the vent line? I'm worried that if some liquid gets trapped in the pigtail loop it will slow down or block proper venting. I'm thinking I can eliminate the loop and just have the vent line dump behind the license plate.
Priorities:
1. Safety
2. Passing Butt Lite tech inspection
3. Seamless function
