The problem is a fuel system design that requires pilot intervention so frequently as to render such actions a reflex, without conscious thought.

Only two warning captions should be needed in a well designed system, fuel system fault (e.g. pump failure or blockage) and low fuel.

The pilot's action in either case would be to carry out a precautionary landing.
