Ralph, I just experienced the same problem a few weeks ago. I had the low
level switch that came from Velocity with the kit.
Turns out the float was taking in fuel and was sinking thus
indicating low fuel level. Just replace the switch.
I was ordering from Wicks and that where I got a replacement this
time. Works fine (even without hiting the sump tank)

Subject: REFLECTOR:Sump Tank Low Level Light Problems
I have been trying to get in the air for the past several weeks, but keep
getting a low level light on my sump tank. I have checked the wiring, and
blew our my vent line from the sump tank to no avail.
I taxi out and during the runup checks, the light will come on. So I taxi
back to the hanger - and the only way I can get the light to go out is to
hit the sump tank good and hard. I have gas in both wings and they seem to
be feeding evenly.
Has anybody experienced a similar problem?
Ralph
