Exactly! Very logical but rarely practical. Depending on how many gallons you cary in each tank, you will have to switch from tank to tank for trim on a long distance voyage. And if you do run some bad fuel from one tank through your filters and they clog, it doesn't matter how much good fuel you have in the other tank. Therefore, I believe in starting with good fuel right from the git go.
