I think what the average guy is looking for is a way to automatically switch on a scavenge pump. Some guys run them on manual switch but they burn out the pump running it at full power the whole time. I think the next step after that is to run it on a small DC motor controller to adjust pump output, you shouldn't need to run the scavenge pump at full duty cycle. Then come up with an auto switching setup. I have a couple ideas in mind but don't have the time to mess with it right now. All in I think I am at 100 bucks for a second fuel basket with pump and sender, a motor controller, and some misc items to the project.
yeah thats why for me to would be easy to use the stock accelerometer in the ABS unit and measure Gforce like that. its easy to know when your taking a hard left turn and just send a signal to a relay to turn it on.

I know the PCB is a rough draft lol
