> Thanks guys for the good ideas. I like the idea of using the header tank only as reserve, which is the procedure I have been using. It's always makes you feel better when someone else affirms what you've been doing. Also fueling up before that point, along with a "Sharpie" mark so you can see (or not see it) when the wire first starts to go down is good advice.

I was wrong about the price; they are $12.99. I ordered one, and will try to have a photo taken with it attached to my face! Wayne Delrossi has offered to provide a suitable tree!
