Fueling twin engines from different tanks keeps this from happening
simultaneously. I have lost one of two engines a few times (fuel twice,
impellers twice, high pressure trans hose leak), but never both, allowing me
to pick my spot to stop. While I had one engine for many years (Krogen 42),
I must say having two is kinda nice.
