IT IS PHYSICALLY impossible for the header tank to drain back to the
wing tanks as both the in line from the pump and the drain line to
the tanks are several inches from the bottom of the tank Glenn

When I let mine sit for a while, the fuel from the header tank s-l-
o-w-l-y drains back down in to the wing tanks. Also, I have to
turn the fuel selector under the instrument panel off to keep the
fuel from leaking out of the carburetor but you can see and smell
that type of fuel leakage. But I agree, a completely dry header
would give you quite a start. Best to fill the header before you
fly next, whenever that may be, and take it around the pattern a
few times, land and check header tank fuel level to see if it is
being replentished from the wing tanks.
