This is the opening I was looking for. IF- - -I installed a header tank it
would be the simplest, least complicated system I can think of and therefore
I believe the safest. Just put in a left-right-header selector valve. That
way you
eliminate frequent filling/shut off and or the electric components;
switches, relays etc.. Burning the wing fuel first would minimize changes
in pitch trim. However, I would consider the safety downside to a header. If you had an
otherwise survivable crash, the header could rupture. As others have mentioned, Mooney, Piper and others have used the wing tanks
and selector valve system for a long time, not fool proof but the best
compromise I think.
