You should ALWAYS return to the tank you are supplying from.
try this scenario.
Both tanks full on takeoff.
Pump from left and return to right.
Fly low and dust someones crop with 100 LL when you force gas out the
right
tank vent.

Well, that would be a stupid thing to do. Yes when both tanks are full
you
need to return to the same tank you are using. Most pilots could be
trusted
to do that at least as much as trusting the pilot to select the full tank
when one is empty. Ususally works fine. Right Ed? ;-)

99% of the time, Dave.
Just returned from the SERFI where Tracy and Finn were also there with
their Rotaries. Finn and I made a formation (more or less) take off and
then a high speed pass for the crowd before heading home.
My %$^# flop tube is still hung up in my right tank so can't use the
last three gallons in that tank. Tried rocking the wings to unstick it but
looks like I am going to have to take the tank off. But, no additional
gliding minutes to put in my log book {:>).
