There are great deals on long battery cables on eBay.

I would say draw from both but make sure they are both empty, or treated
with Stabil, at the end of the season or you will have bad gas in two
tanks. Will you be able to easily see how much fuel you have?

Oh no planning on running it this year. Too late, too cool, and too busy.
I'd like to run both tied together but no girl guage and can't see through the tanks, so no reserve. However I also have a standard 6 gal I can tuck in as a spare for 'reserve' I guess.


24 gallons is a lot of gas. Do you think you would ever come close to
burning that much in a day? I have a hard time burning 20 gallons in
the 500ci Caddy on the skinny water boat in a day and it loves gas! I
have only had to grab the spare can once and it's a 30 gallon tank.


5 gallons usually takes my out and back twice.
