Just fuel the 'big tanks' when you need or want that extra range.
Glad you said tanks ,
I think for most yacht service a series of plastic tanks and a good sized day tank would be best.
The seldom used cruising tanks would be sized that they can transfer to each other and to the day tank.
First tank would transfer all its contents to the day tank.
When the day tank was 1/2 full or so a big tank would refill the first tank and any extra would go in the day tank. All tanks would use this procedure, from full to empty via first tank and day tank.
This would allow big fuel for big needs , a winter aboard with diesel heat , or even a cruise,and ALL the tanks (except the day tank) to be empty almost all of the time .
No fuel, no water , no bugs .KISS
