Does anybody think that a medium-sized capacitor ahead of the low-fuel warning
bulb would help this situation?  Might help eliminate the nuisance of a
bobbing-float if the cap had to charge before the light fired off, and would
drain off if the switch bobbed back up before the charge had built up
sufficiently to light the bulb...  BTW, I'm not a EE, so it's just a thought.
