My advise is to put NOTHING behind the pilot that is not absolutely necessary. The KR is already prone to be a bit tail heavy when built to plans. Your KR may be different by moving the engine forward, etc. Only a W&B measurement will tell the story. My guess on the easiest way to get an additional 4+ gallon would be to place a 4 or 5 gallon tank in one or both sides of the wing center section outside of the fuselage. Use an electric fuel pump with an on/off switch to transfer fuel to the header tank where you have an electric or site gauge. A FUEL PROOF clear line would let you know if the tank is empty so you don't run the pump with no fuel. That might not be a problem with the small electric pumps but I have no knowledge on that.
