Nowdays it is quite hard to run out of fuel, need to keep at least half tank fuel as need to travel so long trips and filling fuel tank at 5am is not one of my favorite hobbies

I find it easier and cheaper to keep the talk half empty, rather than half full.

I usually also use almost full tank amount of petrol when I drive, so it is easier to keep it at middle, so I don't need to be filling up right when I go somewhere. Of course I will not have time to fill it when I'm near my destination

It might not need that. It will need a head though...or at least a number of valves and at least one guide. I haven't pulled it apart to find out in detail, yet.
cheers
