Tanks as we currently know them are obsolete; for the same reasons that battleships are. 1. Too heavy, non-air transportable. 2. They need infantrymen to protect them. 3. They are designed to engage other tanks; wars today require mobility (light weight), fast deployment (air transportable), and combined arms (infantry carrying tanks: landing in a hostile environment ready for battle); instead of waiting on the flight line for infantrymen and tanks to "get together"...they should already BE TOGETHER! Be combined! So, tanks are not obsolete; only the tanks of today. They need to "evolve" into tanks to fight 21st century battles.

Do the dual fuel tanks on a 2011 Freightliner Business Class still work simultaneously as before or is one of those tanks for the reefer on refrigerated models?

Both of those fuel tanks are for the power unit. Rest assured of that. The reefer units will have a separate fuel tank for that unit, typically located under the chassis behind the cab. Don't be fooled by the lack of a crossover between the two fuel tanks - the crossover system is obsolete, and no longer used. Both of those tanks feed the engine, still.
