There was
plenty of interest generated from our last
Header Tank Tip a few weeks ago! We will add to
that knowledge base this week with more examples
of builder's contribution to this important
facet of fuel plumbing options.
Also featured
in this short video clip is the header tank kit
commercially available from Skytek Aircraft.
They manufacture a complete header fuel system
for the Rotax 912 family of engines that has
been endorsed by Rotax for use with their
engines. Of great interest to builders is not
just that this becomes an option for those that
prefer not to "roll their own", but also Skytek
explains some important design issues affecting
all fuel header tank designs. After watching,
you will have a new appreciation for why proper
fuel plumbing is critical for a safe
system.
