Deon, CG shift with the header tank is a non -issue. I have a 12 US Gal. header tank from RR in my KR2S and the change in trim from full to almost empty is only a couple of bars on the trim indicator . Aluminum is probably superior in chemical resistance from auto fuels and less likely to leak than fibreglass. I would keep it . Not sure there is any safety issue with it? Lets face it , sitting behind 12 gals of gas in a wood airplane is inherently dangerous to begin with . Don't lose any sleep over it. Cheers Chris GardinerKR2S C-KRZ
