[Spaceships] Combined Ships and Delta-V

Asking this after doing a search of the forums and not finding a totally satisfactory answer.

I'm curious as to how the External Clamp rules work with delta-V.

A thread a few years back ( http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=65783 ) had one solution, namely the (fuel tank mass) / (combined ship mass) * 20 = New # of Fuel Tanks one, but I'm not sure how this holds up. How does one account for ships with different quantities of fuel per tank and with both/all ships thrusting?
