Unfortunately, the float is fairly sensitive, and closes the circuit on rapid acceleration and hard turns, thus causing the light to flicker briefly. I'd like to eliminate this false indication of low oil level by building a circuit which causes the warning light to illuminate only after the circuit closes AND remains closed for a few seconds.
This is a known issue with Bostig and while it's not intolerable as is, I'd like to fix it. I'd appreciate any help on the best way to design this circuit. I've included a basic circuit diagram of the existing circuit here:

What did Jim at Bostig say in response to your running this by him?
