In my 360 with a header tank, I have the Grand Rapids EIS with a low fuel
warning set at 8gals, very close to the 8.5 gals where the Pillarpoint
avionics automatic transfer starts (transfer system is driven by my
Princeton Electronics header tank probe).  That way I know very quickly if
the auto transfer is not working.

On a separate circuit, I have a float driven switch in the header tank that
actuates a different warning light at about 4 gallons.  This is my "last
resort" fuel warning, independent of the other system (and powered by the #2
buss).

Regards,
Clark Baker
