Same thing with the Kit Fox ... fuel tank right there in front of you .... scary .....

That is the big problem with fuel injected engines, it complicates fuel management without a header tank. So that is why I eliminated the header tank in my Subaru powered GlaStar. I simply put in a cooled, pressurized loop that vents the vapor bubbles that are formed by the pressure regulator and the heat of the engine.
