My questions concerns the diameters of the two holes in caps to vent fuel tank.
the vent holes in my existing caps are 7/64th inch each.
Is this the correct diameter of vent holes?
If not, what might be minimum diameter for vent holes?
Gas caps

Re: Gas caps
Neal's article on forward facing gascaps has a note early on that says "a little less than 1/8" for the two holers.
