That's the thing. How do you know (when you're down to 4 gallons with both sides
of the saddle full) whether there is 4 gallons in there or just 2 gallons (one
side full only)?
The same is also true to a lesser extent for the split system, but teeing both
together also risks introduction of air locks when one side becomes
preferentially
empty (through spillover or the effect of the fuel return line, etc).

litres. Less that that, and Im getting nervous. With (effectively) 2 tanks,
I dont know how to decide at what point to change the feed side; so end up not
using either leg of the tank.
