I'd talk with Tanks Inc about it. I don't know much about them, but it seems like a basic hobs switch, these are commonly run in various applications. Is it possible that the people having issues have them installed in such a way that the issue is presenting itself?

My question is how far do you want to go with this? If the only thing you're worried about is a bit of cranking if the car sits for a while, but otherwise you don't have any fuel starvation issues with your mechanical pump, is the juice worth the squeeze here?

My personal preference, but if my car has sat for a couple weeks and there's no risidual oil on the bearings, I don't mind a bit of cranking to get some oil flowing through the engine.
I don't know but people have suggested that even if I don't have any obvious starvation, it's still happening. I don't know if that only matters for someone who is racing or if would have any noticeable effect in a street only car like mine. So you are running a mechanical pump? I had you pegged for a in-tank guy.
