Agree that cooling may be the only reason not to completely drain the tank, and a minor advantage i would think.

we only have one pump on the right side of the saddle (same side as fill tube). The left side contains a level sensor and pickup assembly. Right side also has level sensor. Pump drains left side first, then right. The fuel system is non-return. All the external connections are on right side. The pickup tube for left side and a vent tube run INSIDE the tank. if you ever drop the tank and get a slug of fuel in the vent tube it will be impossible to fill the tank completely. The clog will cause the gas pump nozzle to register backpressure.
