You can fit hard air vents into the top of the plastic caps easily. Just get a bulkhead festo or Legris fitting drill a hole in the cap then fit the fitting and put a piece of shaped bent copper or brass pipe into them. Most Savs around have this method

how do you seal it in the cap?

no you drill into the top of the cap and pass the fitting through then screw a nut onto the thread at the bottom of the fitting this tightens and locks the fitting into place then bend the right size tube and push it into the top of the fitting

You could use the black f to f bulkhead fitting. They are pretty much the same really your tube just plugs into the top and cant be pulled out unless you release the small ring. They also get a grip on the tubing too so the tube out the top shouldn't rotate in the air stream

I like the metal thread ended ones I use them a lot with a stainless 5mm nut to lock them in or just tap a thread when going into aluminium. I made my fuel sight tubes out of these style of fittings. Works like a treat

I cured my fuel spillage on full tanks by simply making the vent pipes longer to allow a higher arch above the wings, locked them off with plastic ties no more watching the miles drip away under the wings.
