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 :lol:

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.
