In addition to W&B, what engine are you using and how are you getting it fuel? Engine driven fuel pump, electric pump? No header tank = no gravity feed. With an engine driven pump you'll want a backup electric pump and with no engine fuel pump you'll want two electric pumps. With no engine pump consider backup electrical for the pumps. I lost my main buss at 10 hours in testing and backup battery saved my bacon. It is simply a small 4 AH battery with it's own switches and breakers (see photo, bottom center, red panel). I check voltage and operation of backup system before engine start on each flight. One change often leads to two or three others.
