Fuel balance - look at the gauges every now and then and when one gets visibly lower than the other, change tanks.
I've flown plenty of aircraft where doing that would result in a very significant fuel imbalance. Guages on light aircraft are totally crap, and noone should ever rely on them for anything.

Changing tanks based on time is a much better system.
