I could to that in N56ML with three fuel tanks, but never felt the need when running 93 with ethanol. In the VW powered KR2 N891JF, I only have a header tank (booooo!), so I'm stuck with mixing. The VW seems much more susceptible to vapor lock, but then it doesn't have fuel recirculation like 56ML does, so it's not surprising. I have added an aux inlet to the header tank (while adding a float gauge) just in case I get crazy and put another tank in the outer wing like I did the 2S, but four hours is already too much time to be folded into that seat. When I first bought the KR2, I swore I wasn't going to do anything to it that didn't absolutely have to be done to it. What a fantasy that was. I do add 4 oz of Marvel Mystery Oil to every 6 gallon can before pouring it in the KR2 tank.
