If you read the link in the previous post and think it's a bunch of garbage, you're wrong. Here's what happened to me in my old El Dorado motorhome, two stories and they acually did happen. First, I was coming back from a model boat race, and going up a steep hill the fuel in my main tank moved below the pickup and I ran out of gas, so I switched over to the full reserve tank and immediately got the engine to start again and up the hill I went, at a much higher speed than I was with the newer oxygenated gas. So, just for grins and giggles, when I was on a flat road I switched between the two tanks holding the gas pedal at the same position. The difference was amazing, I got 7-10 MPH more on the old "summer" gas than I did on the newer "winter" gas. Second story. One the way back from a dog show, I ran out of gas, looking for a gas station, so I switched over to the reserve tank and almost immediately, the pressure surge from the reserve fuel tank electric pump blew my fuel line apart, in the engine compartment. Needless to say a fire ensued. I got the fire out within seconds and got the dogs out of the rig. Margaret just happened to be driving her T-Bird along on that trip and took the dogs home. Afterward, she said she would not step foot in it again. She almost cried when I showed up in it the next day. That was the last time the rig was used.
