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.

Hi,
just want to know opinions what volume is practical for a "very last" low fuel warning (20 liter - about 6 gallons) in the header tank of a carburated 360. It is a standard installation with forward canopy and an electrical fuel gauge. In addition I plan for an automatic refuelling.
This very last warning is intended in case refuelling does not work and I am busy with other things and to give me a hint for immediate landing.
It works independent of the gauge.
Thanks
Peter, 360 MKII, 85%
