Warping on the other hand ruined my day. I closed the header tank in the jig on the work bench and found it a 1/4" off in the morning. Using gravity to help stick the hysol should've been traded for a hydraulic ram to hold the header in place while deck was attached to fuselage. Two other considerations: A header tank permits gravity feed in a carbeurated engine. The POH from Lancair precludes aerobatics with wing fuel. I've not heard a response to what G limits people are using with fuel in the wings during aerobatics. I know the hysol is super tough but it should at least have an equivalent calculation setting a G limit with fuel in the wings.
