Install two float switches. = One switch is for full indication. The other switch is about half way = down at a level where it will turn on when you have 30 minutes reserve fuel remaining. Now you can develop a auto circuit to turn on = your pump when that switch is activated and the top switch will turn off the pumps = when full.
