> Colin Rainey Colin, Howard Kaiser's KR-2 in the Phoenix area (80s - 90s) had a simple rubber-bulb, squeeze-type fuel pump from a boat under the pilot's legs to transfer fuel from the wing tanks to the header tank. Worked very well, but too busy for me. Of course this could be adapted to take advantage of the "pucker-factor" but you have to make sure you don't over-fill the header tank in that case... Header tank fuel "gauge" was the old tube from the top of the header tank, out through the panel, down vertically to the bottom of the panel and back into the header tank. Also worked well, requiring no electricity. Simple and VERY reliable.
