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.

Understood there. Based on that point, it may be more advantageous to look at the in-tank solution with a better jet pump and whatnot inside it which scavenges better than the factory setup.
This would reduce/eliminate the start/stop electronics and it just becomes a passive hydraulic solution which still fits in the tank without extra hassles and electronics and parts to fail.
I'm a very big fan of K.I.S.S, and my free time is such that I'd rather just buy a proven solution than to fiddle with something and invent it myself. But hey, that's my preference. I'm certainly not saying someone else shouldn't develop their own solution if they have the time and desire, just that there is already a solution out there that does the job and is known quality.
