For the record my Glasair does not have a header tank as well. It's not a problem for me because with my 0-320, I'm only burning around 7gph and I carry 34 gallons of fuel. I generally only fly about 3 hours (or 4 max) before I have to hit the potty anyway. I also have an access panel up front that makes avionics work a snap. I suppose there are benefits to both configurations, but I didn't care for the fact of having a load of fuel near my avionics & engine.

LNC2 Crowd,
I completely agree with Ian Crowe about getting rid of the header tank. I did not like:
1. the safely issue of having fuel between me and a hot engine,
2. variable weight off the CG,
3. worrying about keeping the header full and not pumping it overboard.
