how do you hook up a header tank?
i need to know how a header tank hooks up and I figured every heli pilot knew so ask a heli guy.
is this right, vent from main tank to the muffler. pick up from main tank goes to vent on header tank header tank pick up goes to engine carb. what if the header tank has two vent lines can it still work? i am trying to fix my airplane and need a header tank as the tank is about 10 inches from motor, no room up front for it. only tank I have is a 1 ounce one and it has two vent lines thanks

The second vent line on the header tank is normally used as a filler line. Or, you can simply plug it if you have a fuel "Tee" inline.
Your plumbing description is correct.

I put one of these inline between the header and the carb for refueling. And plug the second vent hole.
