This was an issue with me also, so I built up a 3-minute timer to parallel
the transfer pump switch.  Push the button once, and presto, at one gallon
per minute through the Facet pump, you get 3 gallons and it shuts off.  No
memory required.  Just make sure there is room for 3 more gallons (aileron
trim will give you an additional hint).
