<DIV>I have no idea where or how to get pipe pressure off a greeve pipe. I read somewhere that another option is to get pipe pressure off the header. But there ain't any way I am going to touch my custom hand made header with a drill bit. Was thinking of mounting it over the fireplace anyway.</DIV>

<DIV>I really like the hopper tank as a straight forward solution. With no moving parts it must be very reliable. It would be very easy for me to modify the battery holder just behind the firewall that I have now, over to a hopper tank holder. I have to move the battery back anyway to balance out the swap to an OS160 from a Webra145.</DIV>

<DIV>There's absolutely no trick to the topper tank arrangement Wayne has referred to. It is simple set-up and works as well as any pump set-up on the OS160 sport engine. I have been using a 16 oz over the cg (standard tank, not bladder) and a 4 oz behind the firewall for several years in a 12 pounder. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The plumbing is simple as follows: pipe pressure to main tank vent; main tank feed to topper tank vent; topper tank feed to carb.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the ST2300 if you use the Perry pump you also need to use the Perry carb. I have one now that I am still running and once its set I had to barely make any adjustments over the whole season. Putting it in a Funtana 90 right now...should be a blast!!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Art Waggner flies FAI and uses the OS 1.60 quite successfully with no pump. He runs the tank behind the firewall and uses a bladder tank and runs muffler pressure.</FONT></DIV>
