You know, with all the issues I've had with bad fuel gauges, pickup tubes, switchover valves, I like this idea.
SW, being 'flow thru' means you can permanently leave it in place and it won't interfere with the mechanical lift pump? In years past I've experimented on gas engines and the electric pumps when off restricted the draw from the mechanical pump. I assume that's because these were regular electric pumps and not a 'flow thru' prime pump?
