Fuel vents 1987 8.6m Express
Does anyone know where the fuel tank vents are on a 1987 8.6m Express?

How would I know if they are blocked? My mechanic suggested that blocked fuel vents might be causing the engines to stall after about 5 minutes on plane. If there is already a thread on this subject I apologize in advance.

Remove the filler caps and go for a ride. If she doesn't stall, it's likely blocked vents, if they still stall it's something else.
