From the people I have spoken to, this doesn't work. You want the oil to have time in the tank to remove the air (via the baffling in the tanks), and a smaller tank allows less time to do that. I also can only run a single pressure stage, I'm not sure how / if I could even plumb 2 tanks.

It's really easy. Larger line (double the size) below the fill and suction line between two equal sized, baffled tanks. You're talking with Stefs. Ask them. They did it for my truck.

I think you're over thinking this.

But how do you deal with the return? What type of pump did you have? Separate suction/return stages dedicated to each tank?

My current favorite. It's about 1 mile from where I live. An offshoot of one of the Lockhart places.
