If the fuel tank is straight gas then yes you can run your 4-stroke of the same tank. The oil mixing system in your 150 mixes the oil inside the powerhead and not in the fuel line.

Each motor should have it's own fuel line.

Agreed. Best scenario is to have a switching valve between the two engines. If not there, one can "bleed" off the other.
