A header tank is the usual solution. Just make sure you have a heavy clunk and flexible line in the header tank to keep up with the movement of the fluid. Maybe even a center pickup if that's not working. I've gone with using 6mm lines in my smoke systems to maximize volume and minimize restriction. This is a 12oz header in my Natrix and it works great.


FYI, I've had good luck with Tam's pump (no longer available I suppose) and JetCat pumps.
