Abstract: Fuel systems, apparatus and associated methods for preventing or hindering unwanted fuel transfer between fuel tanks of aircraft are described. An exemplary apparatus comprises a conduit portion disposed inside a fuel tank for receiving fuel in the first fuel tank. The conduit portion includes an orifice through a wall of the conduit. The orifice permits venting an interior of the conduit portion to an interior of the fuel tank to prevent unwanted fuel transfer due to siphoning. A deflector is disposed and configured to deflect a stream of fuel discharged from the orifice during fuel transfer.
