    personnaly the first time I started with oldies (10hp)  and 2 line tanks  I would park my tilted trailer   to drain rain water  out the boat and one   dayI found that 5 gal of gas  had drained out also.

    A small rusty pin hole under  pressure gave way and out came  the fuel during a hot summer day.

    Conclusion: 2 line tanks  are fine  just like  one line tanks  but  keep and eye on the bottoms. I was lucky  my drain plug was out and the fuel went into the grass ( no tgood  for worms, grass and water table)   but at least I did not go up in smoke.
