The point of the reserve is so you don't go down.

FYI Marty, 2 possible shortcomings of the receiver tank alarm system:
1. In the kits it comes with an incandescent bulb indicator. We swap that for a flashing red LED, which we also mount on the LH side of the panel (where the standard indicator is on the RH side).
2. Unless you have a way to valve off the main tanks, you have no easy way of testing the level switch, which is a simple magnetically operated reed switch and can fail.
We put in a 4 valve system for the 4 tanks, following Mark Kyle's early example, and this does allow easy routine testing of the entire alarm circuit.
