Actually, that's pretty much what I did.  I putt electric valves between the sump and the strake and I shut off whichever wing tank is gravity feeding too fast.  Valves have a pick on the connector that lights an amber LED on the panel when valve is closed.  Capped sump vent allows pumps to draw down reluctant wing tank.

You don't, Just run L or R and switch. If you are running well top and bottom of the hour should work fine. Don't worry about this any more.  It is too hard to solve and mot really worth it. Just offering possibles. Things like crimp fittings could reduce he id of the tubing. If it runs well and will drain both tanks it probably isn't a factor to worry over... Fly Safe
