Was that an EFI with return or a non return carbureted system.  Makes a difference.

Hi, Tracy...I had the same setup on my LongEZ....two strake fuel tanks and a fuel selector valve with left, right and both. 95% of the time, I just used both. Worked fine. Fuel levels in both tanks were always very close to each other.  Paul Conner
 

I agree, it's a tough call on the Facet pump with the sump tank.  But then if you eliminated the sump tank.......  : ) 
 Your Andair valve is a good (but pricey) solution.   And I see the fuel transfer requirement as no more onerous than the requirement to switch tanks.  This is a cherries & nectarines issue.  Both taste great.
 
I'll have to think about that "auto leveling" a bit but at first blush, I'm not sure it would work in all situations.  Have you tried it?
