tank is very short.  The standard(?) Lancair has a header tank of ~3gallons
which might give 20 min flight time.

Actually the standard header tank in a Lancair is 11 gallons.  I cut mine
in half laterally but retained the 'bump' forward over the sump, for a
modified total capacity of 6 gallons... at least 45 minutes at a modest
cruise setting which would easily yield 150mph in that aircraft.
