Re: KR> Fuel header tank

[CHRIS GARDNER via KRnet]

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

I have had good success using the speedometer cable style adjustment on my 
Zenith carb.

With 238 hours to date, I have not had any issues with this method.

Looks a little unconventional but works fine.

Details on request if interested.
