I have wing tanks only and electric fuel pumps on my KR, no header tank. I have often flown drawing from one tank only but normally fly with both tanks on. The only time in 92 hours I've had a fuel starvation problem was when I accidently turned both tanks off !! DUAHHHH ...... I was climbing through 2000 feet and suffered a SENIOR MOMEMT. I had the engine running again in a matter of 3 or 4 seconds but it certianly got my attention. Larry Flesner
