The remote 5 gallon tank serves as a backup in case, the unit fails you dont immediately burn your engine up.
Maybe i should patent this idea???

I don't think you can patent just an idea. You have to have a drawing of the unit showing how it works I believe. Still, it's a great idea. Something that would automatically sense when your gas didn't have oil in it and would automatically switch over to the reserve tank of premix. Think of how many hundreds of thousands of dollars in ruined engines would be saved. Still, maybe we shouldn't think too hard about this... It might cut down on Spares and Ferms business... that would be bad for them. (But I love the idea of the automix tank)
