Two points may be of interest
1) The pump manufactures have suggested that the fuel is not turned off when the aircraft is standing idle as a tiny unnoticed fuel leak will possibly leave the pump dry and a couple of seconds running will write the pump off.
2) The type of pump will not stand prolonged running, is every one in the group turning the pump off at 1000 feet ???
A pump running warning light could easily be fitted.
