I have been hanging upside down by the seatbelt in a KR with the header
tank on fire.  All the fuel in the wings is wise advice.

As for a header tank, I went wing tanks only in the out wing 
sections. That's a personal call. I read a crash report years ago 
about a KR1 that had a hard landing, the firewall broke away and the 
ruptured tank dumped it's contents on the pilot. Why it never caught 
fire is a mystery.
