Neil,

I would feel more comfortable with 4 in each tank than with a dry tank.


Well, I definitely wouldn't, the odd and very rare fuel selector
malfunction notwithstanding.



Nor would I! I would rather have an hour in ONE tank, rather than spread
among FOUR tanks! How would you know which tank to select for landing? I
would not want to select the 5 minute tank, when I would have to go
around!

Those are the guys who run into fuel starvation problems!
