I'm glad someone challenged the "vent tube to the rear" concept.
One school of thought is that while the flight forces do cause line tension, and the fuel goes to the outside, the fuel vent, or fuel pickup, can work at the back, middle or front of the tank.
With a pickup in the traditional rear location, canting the rear of the tank out is not a bad idea. One plane I have is arranged with about 1/4" cant, measured as the rear of the tank away from the profile fuse. It works well, a little better than a similar plane with a tank mounted flush to to the profile slab.
YMMV. $0.02,
