IDG,
From Boeing Airliner Sep-Oct 1966 page 12, in an article on the 737 fuel system:
“A small positive pressure is maintained in the tank during flight by ram air entering the wing tip vent scoop. This positive pressure serves to reduce fuel evaporation at high altitude and to maintain pressure at the boost pump and by-pass inlets.”
