4005 did not need multiple burners. It did well enough but the coal strike ended, so it was converted back.

4014 seems to be doing just fine with 1 burner. You don't add another burner if the one you have is to small. You get a larger one. Remember that the SP AC-12s(ac-10 and 11 as well) had a larger evaporative heating surface than the big boys and the burned oil no problem.
