Q

What are the 3 fuel vents?

A
Heated ram vent
NACA Scoop vent 
- that is naturally ice resistant
Flush vent (looks like hole in the wing)
- with flame arrestor

A Pressure valve prevents over pressurization of the fuel tank
Back up vent opens at 1.5 PSI
- externally dumped fuel through the heated ram vent
