If you have two tanks, one of them has been added. The Clippers all came with a single tank, originally about 35 gallons and later 50 gallons, and the fuel pump  on the engine was the only one. I've seen several Clippers that have had an extra tank installed in the rear. Some have had an electric fuel pump added, with or without the extra tank, to make for faster starting, especially after sitting idle for an extended time.
