I did not get a chance to measure mine on Sunday. But Parley mentions his
header tank being 20 gallons. I am not sure how that big a tank fits but I
guess it obviously does. My header tank is only 5 gallons and as I recall it
has a cut out on the side nearest the transponder. I wish I would have measured
mine because I think that with a smaller header tank there could be 9 inches of
space between the instrument panel and the tank. Maybe I can get back out to
the airport tonight and remember to measure it.

Dave;
Since I have my Kr-2 in the garage, I went out and measured the distance
from the back of the instrument panel to the back edge of the header tank,
this measurement is 6.5 inches.
My plane is a plans built aircraft and the fuel tank is made of fiberglass
with a cut out on the right side for the transponder, this cutout measures,
7"wide X 7.5" deep X 2.5 inches height. The tank hold 20 gals, has a self
designed/built capacitive fuel gage installed and works great.
Hope this information is of use.
Thanks
Parley Byington
But about how much space is there between the instrument panel of a
typical non-Sed KR-2, and the fuel tank?
How likely is it that I'll be able to install a 9" deep instrument
('EFIS Sport' PFD) with the stock fuel tank config?
