Hi, Dave...the aircraft designer told me that the header tank was recommended, as the aircraft can better pick up fuel during aerobatics (which I do perform).  I did not install a flop tube or inverted oil system, as I don't spend all that long a time inverted, and try to avoid negative g's.   Paul Conner

I  agree with Tracy 100%, as usual.  There really is no benefit of a header tank.

Of course,  I meant to say *avoids*  lots of possible problem scenarios.

This thread just reinforces my dislike of sump tanks, vented or not.  Why complicate life like this?  A return line to the tank is not that hard to do and creates lots of possible problem scenarios.
