If your going from the bottom of the tank then yes 2 drains around 40mm if your going on the back pane of the glass near the top one hole and small weir have a ganda at mine

As Kev says 1 is as good as 2 holes they can both made to be quiet it depends on how you have your weir. Twiggy

Yes i can still drill them, i usually only charge fuel costs to and from where i go to. I have just drilled my new tank with 2 55mm holes for 2 40mm connecters and a 28mm hole for a 20mm return connecter. Give me a shout when your ready Twiggy
