if i use a subaru eng in my 601 hds would i be better off to  just use the two wing tanks i have and leave the header tank out to make it  easier to get the weight and bal or how much weight would i have to add to plane  if i use all three tanks?   i would probably just use the header tk  for local and the wing tanks for longer flts.thanks   ralph

Bill-

     Depends on the size of the  header. Contact Larry MacFarland, since he's using a Sub in an  HDS.

Hi Ralph,

I use a 9.5 gal header with my leading edge wing tanks.  The ability to 

fill the header from a wing tank is better from my perspective because 

you can run on the header

while valving to the wing tank and turning on its pump switch.  

Regulating the flow and fill seems much better than trying to coordinate 

valve and pumps from the wings.

You're better to push fuel from Facets near the wing rib near the tanks 

and again from the firewall to your Bing carbs.  I parallel pump 2 

Facets on the firewall as well,

but only run one of them when cruising.  A half size header is good for 

clearance with the radio, transponder, and long gages.

If you need more detail, of course, don't be reluctant to ask.
