True.
Or, the return line plumbed through the aux tank would do the trick
too, provided the aux is in the syncro location (input/output above
the level of the 2wd tank).
~unless you're talking aux for syncro, which I think would require a
pump of some sort (syncro people will have to correct me on this one,
since I haven't actually seen a syncro fuel tank :D)
