There aren't two separate tanks, therefore all the gas mixes together. The petcock has two fuel pickups. The normal position pickup sticks up higher into the fuel tank than the reserve pickup. When the fuel level goes below the normal pickup and the bike begins sputtering, by turning the lever to reserve, you're switching to the lower pickup, which, because it is positioned lower in the fuel tank, provides "reserve" fuel to the carbs. Summary - there is only one fuel tank on your bike.
