Yes, Im building the KR2S and it says just like Bob said.
For my fuel setup im thinking something along the lines like a Aircoupe. I
want both wing tanks R & L and a small 5 Gallon header tank. I want the
Engine driven pump to pump into the header tank constantly and overflow back
into the selected tank. Of course I would have an electric fuel pump as
back-up. My plan of thought is with that 5 gallon header tank I will be able
to keep that full all the time and for whatever reason I run out of gas in
the wing tanks I have my VFR reserve already met with that header-tank.
Any thoughts, comets,suggestions are welcome, of course I have a long
time before my fuel system comes along.
