Actually, if the tube is properly mounted, it can be used to keep the
vapors vented from below deck to minimize the risk of explosions that come
from your Canadian Ballast Rocks (TM) sparking against your metal
footbraces. This is in addition to "freshening" the air before you have to
re-breath it.
