<<Would you care to describe your "similar system" for us.>>

This relates to the Pillar Point Fuel System.  My "similar unit" was built by 
Wayne Lanza who does business as Composite Designs.  It features Skysports 
capacitance fuel probes in the wings and header tank.  When the "low" alarm 
on the header tank is activated, it turns on the Facet pumps until the "high" 
alarm is triggered, whence the pumps shut off.  Each pump can be set to 
"auto" or to "manual".  An additional switch is "on" or "off".  Normal 
settings are "on" and "auto".  

There are LED bar graphs indicating quantity in each tank.  The display also 
contains the landing gear switch and the landing gear lights.  The thing is 
about the size and shape of an audio panel.  Fits at the top of the stack.

No pilot inputs are needed for normal operation.  You only have to do 
something if there is a failure.

This system was written up in an early edition of (then) Jim and Linda 
Frantz's Lancair Network News.
