Good morning,My KR2 has a 24 gallon header tank.As mark says it is not user friendly when working behind the panel.For day time VFR it is not a big problem but once you start into high tech land it becomes an issue.An example of flying long distance would be the trip made from Cross City FL.to Pine Bluff,AR nonstop with an early GPS for hikers.5 hours 17 minutes.All the water bottles were full and some were emptied out the landing gear holes.At 4 gallons per hour there was about 45 minutes reserve[maybe]. What I remember is taking a lot of time to get out of the plane.The early astronauts must have been a lot more heroic than I thought.Not many people will ever spend that much time in the air unless they REALLY want to.It was my personal best.Tommy W.
