Jim,
Well, that's a hard one to beat, but maybe if she wasn't so busy with
all that fuel monitoring stuff she would have time to do something
really useful. My "wife unit" doesn't want crew responsibilities. So,
I'll have to find an alternative.

The best fuel monitor of all is wife unit who wants crew responsibilities. She's responsible for logging fuel levels every half hour. She notifies me in detail of any and all transfer asymmetries. Not only that, but when fuel gets below two hours endurance, she's reminding me every five minutes and assuming crucial navigation duties (like briefing me on the distance to all nearby aerodromes in the imminent and probably inevitable event of flame out).
So tell me again how your technology cooks and cleans and cuddles ...

Dale,
I thought so too. I just don't know how to go about doing this with
capacitive fuel probes. So, why stop with just an aural warning? Why
not use this to switch tanks as needed. You could take a little nap or
read a book. ;-)

Ooh! That suggests something actually useable on my system. A circuit that measures the differential between the fuel level sensors in my two tanks, and when it exceeds a certain value triggers an annunciator: "Dale, it's time to switch tanks."
