I have the wing tanks with one gallon header tank behind the seats.  I would like to have more than 15 minutes of fuel after the light comes on.  Has anyone come up with a larger header tank/low fuel warning system?



I am thinking of adding another standard header tank back to back with the original (plumbed in parallel).  Any thoughts on that?



Thanks

Be careful if using ethanol gas. It melted the optical low fuel sensor in  my header tank. Fuel all over the place! I now only use avgas with TCP  added.

Murle's got one:

got low-fuel warning systems, but I'd go with Lowell's 

(http://www.highwingllc.com/lowfuel.html) as some of the local folk 

had problems with Murle's.
