Not a bad idea, should also have a warning light telling you you're on reserve otherwise people will accidentally switch to reserve and fly around until they run out [like on a motorbike ]

As mentioned a PA34 with less than full fuel means you cannot see any fuel. As one instructor told me, "If you can see fuel, you have loads"......Still better to be safe than sorry in my....experience
