[QUOTE="2WheelTiger, post: 297430, member: 6178"] There is some benefit to having a minimal amount of unused fuel. SOMETIMES water settles out of suspension or it rains into your filler. Further, there is often debris that enters the fuel tank. Simple condensation can add water to the tank, and if the pickup is all the way at the bottom, your first batch from the aux tank will be water. Switch over from the main to the aux and the bike dies? Not a desirable feature. Using a 1/2 inch high flange (or pipe fitting or whatever) will help the undesirables remain settled in the bottom of the tank so that they don't enter the rest of the fuel system. Almost all commercial fuel systems allow for this. [/QUOTE]
