It's to operate the venturi/siphon system that draws fuel from the R/H side of the saddle tank into the L/H side. IIRC, it also keeps the fuel basket filled with fuel.

Why not install a pump on both sides of the tank. Seams like a easy way to upgrade the fuel system

You would need a controller or some kind of way to turn the other pump off when the saddle is empty or at the very least low enough to not cool the pump anymore. A small lift pump would work if you can figure it out.

Run a return style that returns to both sides?

I think you still will need to turn it off with a low fuel level. If I'm not mistaken the fuel level on the other saddle is averaged with the active saddle to get the level.

Hmmm

Ok so not as easy as thought. But if you pull out of both sides and return to both sides might work. You keep the sending units

The best thing to do would be to increase the venturi effect of the jet siphon. That way you're not heating fuel, making the system more complex, adding another electric load and you're not creating extra hose. Aeromotive and radium are the only two companies I know that make aftermarket kits.

I have an idea for a pump system that would work well but people are cheap.

I snagged an extra stock pump basket to do exactly that. Was gonna set up a microcontroller and watch fuel level sensor for each basket.
inputs: port and starboard individually : level, temp send/return, current, voltage in/out (regulator), RPM?
outputs: port pump OFF/ON12V/ON18V, starboard pump OFF/ON12V/ON18V, pump startup bypass (dumps fuel at 0psi direct back to tank during startup current surge? or possible use PWM to soft start /current ramp)
Could also control two valves on a reverse Y from the return fuel to decide which side receives the return line fuel.
