No header tank. I don’t like the idea of gas in the cockpit. Also for those inquiring minds, my CoG would only move 3/4” from full to empty. I never had any CoG problem. The fuel pumps are electric Facet. Each tank has it’s own pump. I have an Ellison on my Corvair engine and if the electric pump fails, the engine developed enough suction that it will continue to run just by fuel suction alone. And yes I have tested this in flight. Not intentionally though. I was 13 miles from an airport when the ground wire to the pumps broke rendering me “dead in the fuel” so to say. Yes, I easily kept altitude to make it back. The engine ran just shy of 2K rpm.
