I was just looking up the fuel bushings we were talking about. I found a supplier that makes a viton bushing that they claim is more resistant to the ethanol in our fuels. See the following link then go to page 18. On the same page they sell a gascolator that has a quick drain that is real good to put in the lowest part of your fuel system before the filter and fuel pump. Also on page 17 they sell a fuel fitting (that I use) for use with the bushings that has a finger strainer and a shut off valve.

The press fit bushings are ultralight/light plane standard fuel fittings They are inserted into a hole in plastic fuel tanks. They are a fuel proof rubber like material. After they are inserted a metal fuel fitting is pressed into the bushing which locks the bushing in place and makes the assembly highly leak resistant. They do require that the proper sized hole is drilled, that is the hole is carefully debured, and the fuel fitting is lightly lubricated when it is installed.

I am not 100% sure I know what you mean here. Is 'press fit' the gadget that
is held in place in the hole by a neoprene grommet? It is a short tube with
a sort of barb on the end so the fuel line won't come off?

will not become a drain
The circle track racers wind the vent tube around the tank 2-3 times.
