More fuel please Chris. Lots of fuel is a safety feature. If you get
where
you are going and the weather turns bad it gives you more options.
I have had to turn back up in Alaska more than once when the weather
shut down after a 350 mile flight.
The guy with the Cosman Mark I mentioned to me he had limited fuel
and that is the reason he did not want to put a rotary in it.
17 gallons as I recall.

We may put in a 15 gallon header tank. Do you really need more than 4
hours
of range? I gotta pee before 4 hours is up. 350 miles with a 50 kt
headwind is still only 2 hours in this airplane.
The Cosman Mk I cruises at 4 GPH.

I'm afraid peeing and refueling don't necessarily go hand and hand down
