I’ve made up a header tank for my XL. I just wanted to share.

Thanks for sharing.  Do you think you'll get tired of that tank in your forward view?  I do like the idea of a header, what is the capacity of it?

Thanks for the reply Brock. I’m not sure how much it’ll bother me. It wouldn’t be a big job to remove it and run directly from the wing tank. I like the idea of being able to use all the fuel in the wing and have a clear indication of what I have left right in front of me. It’ll hold 5 or 6 litres. Should be enough for 30+ minutes. Also, the instrument panel will partially obscure it and if I manage to get a Verner it’ll stick up in front too.
