The one disadvantage of the proposed fuel layout is that you will have
static fuel in the lines to the carbs when the engine is stopped. In very
hot conditions you could get fuel vaporisation in this section of the line
on the ground. Running the electric fuel pump will not clear it because
there will be no flow.

I do not see any problems with the principals of your fuel layout.
In practice the problem will be to get a good location for the transducer in
the engine bay. As the compiler of the mod I am hampered a little by the
fact that I have a 914. This means I have to have two sensors and (being a
Trigear) I have space in the centre tunnel to mount them.
I would be pleased to see how you mount the transducer. If this works well
I will be happy to add additional advice to the modification document.
