Chad,
Good questions, all.
The solenoid is a pretty simple device. Give it a couple of amps and it
clicks. Take em away and it clicks again. I've been thinking about a way to
monitor the solenoid position but havent come up with one yet.  On
epossibilit might be a pressure sensor in each return line. My initial plan
is to keep a close eye on the fuel state of each tank (always) using my
capacitance and sight guages. Hopefully I'd spot any transfer anomoly. Down
the road I'll look into a detection system, but right now I need to
concentrate on getting this plane in the air. Its amazing how much
complexity you can add based on a "simple" idea.
Regards,
John
