That's why people leave one bottle closed, so they can switch over and take The Empty Bottle Into town.

This would be wrong, Both tanks open, indicator turned to one tank; the indicator turns red when the tank pointed at runs out - not when both are empty. It DOES NOT wait until the second tank is empty. As far as giving less fuel, that is wrong as well unless you have a defective regulator. There is no reason, whatsoever, to leave a tank closed so you can find out in the middle of the night, at 10 degrees, in the rain/snow, that your tank ran out because you just wanted to do that to yourself. Checking the tank takes all of 10 seconds and if you are aware of your usage it is SO simple.
