Default Dual Tank Fuel Reservoir Question

What is the purpose of the fuel reservoir? Could it cause fuel delivery problems?

Dual tanks. PO indicated there were occasional issues with the auxiliary tanks/fuel switch. Both pumps run when switched back & forth with the in-cab switch.
Got all the manuals. Shows the fuel reservoir, but no explanation what it does. Can the fuel reservoir cause fuel delivery problems?

Also:
Inertia Switch pictures are attached. I've worked with 5 Lincolns equipped with the red button inertia switch. When this switch trips, what happens to the white tab?
This is obviously on. Off would be down?

Has very little movement.
