Thanks Will.
I would think then my coupling hoses are the correct selection.
Maybe what happened with the vent fitting is that the hole around tank boss was
a little small and the coupling hose, instead of going all the way up to the
tank, it was butting against the cockpit module fiberglass around the tank's
boss.
Maybe movement of the tank pushed the coupling out allowing a little gasoline to
lubricate the joint and it eventually just popped out.
To repair, I ground away some of the CM fiberglass around the boss to create a
enough clearance for the coupling hose to fit through and installed a new
coupling
hose.
I'll keep and eye on it as well as the pickups at the tanks bottom. Flew
yesterday
and it was great. Today gusting 24 crossed to the runway so again grounded
