[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 125286, member: 59"] If you mean that you fitted three position taps giving off/main/reserve on each side you would have a greater reserve but a restricted fuel flow as both main feeds would be partially blocked by the weir tubes. If you fitted Triumph type off/main fuel taps with a weir tube each side you would run out of usable fuel while both sides had an inaccessible reserve. If you use a weir tube on the left but not on the right you will have an increased reserve but will not be able to access the fuel on the left of the tunnel, about as much as standard reserve, unless you lay the bike over to the right after reserve has run dry.
