Default Anyone had fuel tank air vent icing up?

It's a problem in Bonanzas & Barons.

Heated fuel vents are an option on some Barons.

You can tell it's happening by noting the fuel gauges.
They go UP! The bladder sucks up from the tank and
deflects the outbound level sender when the vents are
blocked.

You need a plan to be on the ground.
