reprime itself in about 10 seconds.  Yes, under the right circumstances,
that could be the longest 10 seconds of my life.  This should only
happen if you run a tank dry.  But if that happens, the procedure will
be to switch to the other tank (should have fuel), then turn on the
boost pump.  That should reduce the recovery time to something less than
10 seconds.
Wouldn't this be a good argument for having a pump on each tank? This way
the other one is already primed and will push the air out pronto - no?
