You can get the same effect with a single pump by having two connected pickup tubes with a valve (solenoid or mechanical) in the shorter tube. With the valve open, you'll suck air when the fuel level falls to the level of the shorter tube. Close the valve and you'll pick up fuel from the bottom of the tank.

Just like an early VW...
