I observed fuel venting from both wingtips of an Air Lanka L1011 TriStar.
On the DC9, if you disarmed the Volumetric Top-off Units you could then keep fuelling until it started losing fuel through the vents - that way you could squeeze an additional 200/300 lbs, which you desperately needed going Adelaide - Perth.
