Default RE: Fuel tank venting

Never used a taxi tank but the incident has certainly concentrated my mind., came so close to a flameout with a jet heavy with full fuel and smoke fluid ! Perhaps I'd better couple up that BVM overflow tank (I always connect it during refuel to collect spill) during ALL starts, or use a checklist AND use a long red streamer on ALL bungs !

Regards,

David.
