do you need one gas tank for each 2-cycle engine tool?

I have a gas leaf blower that requires 40:1 oil:gas mixture. I have a 1 gallon gas tank premixed with this oil gas.I'm thinking of buying a chainsaw (stihl) which requires 50:1 mixture. Do I need another gas tank to premix with this ratio, or is it ok to just use the 40:1 mix? Or perhaps I could put 45:1 mix in both??BTW, all 2-cycle engine oil claim to be smoke-less. Which is the most smokeless of all?

we use the stihl 50;1 mix in all 2 strokes we have , that is that my brother has. he has a bunch of saws and blowers , takes trees down for a living. stihl oil is a very good high grade synthetic oil, the echo oil is as good too. .. lucas
