I just purchased the Kitfox low fuel sensor option for my SS7. It came with a separate small round aluminum tank to mount the sensor in. This tank/housing is then mounted above the header tank, in the vent line. I know many of you just mount the fuel sensor in the upper side port on the header tank without using the additional housing that Kitfox provides.

I would like to hear some pros and cons of each method. Obviously the higher mounted separate housing would give you earlier warning of low fuel, but its extra complexity and more potential leak points. Any other opinions would be appreciated.
