Having hung upside down by the seatbelt with a header tank on fire I
definitely prefer to have all the fuel in the wings, but I had a Midget
Mustang with all the fuel in the header tank and currently fly a Mustang
2 with just a header tank. I would certainly put all my fuel in the
wings if I was

Awsome!
Thanks for all the inputs!
I will retain the current configuration. One of the things I really
liked is the simple fuel qty indicator - see through pipe!
I am glad that the CoG shift would not be a problem and the tank should
be much safer during crashing. I do not expect to fly for
Deon,
CG shift with the header tank is a non -issue. I have a 12 US Gal. header tank

aluminum fuel tank in front of the instrument panel. From the
information I have available this is not a good idea (shift of CoG, fire
danger etc.)
Would you advise that I ditch this and create wing tanks? Given all
