1. An aircraft fuel tank vent having a first interface for fluid communication with an aircraft fuel tank interior, and a second interface for fluid communication with an aircraft fuel tank exterior, the vent comprising:
a first flow path between the first interface and the second interface, wherein the first interface is in fluid communication with an aircraft fuel tank and the aircraft fuel tank vent includes a vent protector positioned in the first flow path, and, a second flow path between the first interface and the second interface, the fuel tank vent having a valve positioned in the second flow path, wherein the first and second flow paths are common along at least a part of their length such that they are coincident at the second interface. |
