After gazing at the sump tank for some time it occurred to me the fuel
flowing into the sump from the pilot tank in a stable plane at cruise is
flowing very near the switch. There may be an eddy or current flow
causing the switch flow to bounce without air in the tank at all. I
could move the tube exits, the switch, plug either tube and test but I
too will fly and study and have fears of changing a system that works
with an occasional flash of red light. Please consider this point with
all the other excellent meanderings, expressions and cogitations.
Thanks
See ya at Oshkosh probably with an occasional low fuel warning blink.
