Default Crossfeed in LS8 wing tanks?

We finally resolved the issue of water leaking from the outer tank to the
inner tank. It was a poor seal around the outer tank's breather tube where
it passed through the bulkhead from the outer tank to the inner tank. The
main problem that the repairers had was getting the resin/cotton floss mix
around the side of the tube where it was nestling up against the main spar.
Fortunately? they had already made a hole in the inner tank expecting to
have to replace the release cable gaiter (which was fine as it turned out).
However they had to remove one of the fibreglass straps holding the tube
in place so they could move the tube to get behind it. Now looking forward
to next season so I can re-start my experience of flying with water.
