Still beats sitting in front of a TV any day.
I used to have a similar set up.. I would draw fuel from one tank going out and the other tank coming in.. that way I never ran out of fuel. When the first tank ran out I knew it was time to head back.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
