Hello Peter,

I use 4 gallons for a "last chance" warning. In my 320 I can make that last 
at least 45 minutes. I also have an automatic system that keeps the header 
between 8 and 10 gallons. I have a Vision Micro capacitance gauge and a 
sight gauge on the header.

I like the header system so much that I'm building pretty much the exact 
same system into my IV with a header tank between the firewall and the panel 
mostly on the right side. I can get 18 gallons into the IV header.
