I can't imagine anyone building a KR these days would build the fuel tank per plans - as part of the structure and non-removable. A KR-2 with it's extra width (compared to a KR-1 or 1?) would make it a little easier to get underneath but certainly no fun. It actually makes me feel nauseaus to get my head underneath a panel with my legs sticking up out of the cockpit. Had to do it recently with another plane and reminded me how glad I am to have a removable header tank. Re using a pump to bleed brakes. . . seems to me any residue in the lines would just get pumped back up into the system unless you let it drain first. I let mine drain while filling it from the reservoir(s), being careful not to let any air in. When I see fresh fluid coming out I tighten the bleeder nut. I do that with all vehicles, not just the KR. It's just another way of doing it and doesn't require a pump.
