I have plumbed the same way except I leave the valve closed , when the gauge on dash gets low I open the valve and let gravity fill the main tank , If I forget and leave it open , nuttin happens ! Of course me and mickey mouse have only been doing it for fourteen years with no mishaps . Myself I would be afraid of electric pumps and automatic******, manual works for me .
I did exactly the same with my 50 gallon tank, the second time I installed it on my 2011 silverado. Believe me moving that little lever on the valve is really, really easy and it works perfectly. The first time I installed a solenoid switch and a lighted rocker panel switch. It worked too but cost me about a hundred bucks to set up. I agree manual is the the way to go. Piece of cake.
