Jeff Scott I appreciate all  the information I agree  with you. Pilot training and understanding your airplane is a must.  I really haven't made up made up my mind yet on fuel system for my KR2S . But I was thinking small wing tanks transfer to a header tank.  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Fuel mismanagement happens pretty regularly, even in the simplest of fuel systems. I've seen it happen in a Cessna with dual gravity feed tanks. The more parts you add to your fuel system, the more complex it's going to be. It is important to have easily seen, highly visible fuel indicators.

I've thought a lot about the "Tacoma" incident and have a question to ask those with auxiliary fuel tanks: "Is it possible fuel could move in your system without you knowing about it?" I.E. the quoted "Fuel Starvation" situation referenced below. If gravity is the primary fuel flow design to the e
