This was the first time it has happened that I've noticed. Since I'm pretty sure it's a sensor issue, I'm going to fly it a couple times to see if it happens again before doing anything.

I KNOW both pumps work, so I'm not worried about fuel pressure.

As per Big John's suggestion, try a tank of at least 30% min avgas I suspect from my own experience you will most likely be pleasantly surprised.
