I have included a link to a Pneumatic muffler that I used on my fuel tank
vent that is routed to the bottom of the fuselage.

How do you know or make sure in your walk around that the vents are clear
of (here's that word) Mud Daubers, spider webs, or faunta and/or floura?

Try bits of kitchen sponge in the end of the vent lines. If that's too shade tree mechanic for you (couldn't help myself guys), you can find crankcase vents designed to mount to hose with cool chrome fittings at your local Harley dealer.

You an also tape a small piece of screen 'wire' -- fibreglass or nylon, usually -- over the end of the vent tube. Secure it with filament (strapping) tape & it will last for a few years. Can also check vent lines for blockage by blowing into them. Can feel if solidly blocked of if you're just blowing against a little tank pressure. Lo-tech maybe but it worx.
