A saddle fuel tank and fuel extraction combination comprising:

• a saddle fuel tank comprising:
• a shell;
• a primary sump;
• and
• a secondary sump;
• and
• a fuel extraction system comprising:
• a primary modular reservoir assembly comprising:
• a primary fuel pump located in said primary sump;
• a primary modular reservoir assembly cover interfaced with said shell, said primary modular reservoir assembly cover comprising a primary feed port and a primary return port;
• a primary feed line connected to said primary fuel pump and said primary feed port;
• and
• a primary return line connected with said primary return port;
• a secondary modular reservoir assembly comprising:
• a secondary fuel pump located in said secondary sump;
• a secondary modular reservoir assembly cover interfaced with said shell, said secondary modular reservoir assembly cover comprising a secondary feed port and a secondary return port;
• a secondary feed line connected to said secondary fuel pump and said secondary feed port;
• and
• a secondary return line connected with said secondary return port;
• and
• a pump transfer line extending between said primary sump and said secondary sump;
• wherein said primary fuel pump draws fuel from said primary sump;
• and
• wherein said secondary fuel pump draws fuel from said primary sump via said pump transfer line.
