Even the simple fuel system can bite you. Our friend had a 1973G. The tanks would cross feed on the ground so he would fly both engines off one tank to even them up. Dad went flying with him one day and saw him do this and warned him not to. Well they flew across the pond 32 miles in our 337
to pick up his 337 on the way back flying at 1500 feet together dad hears him call an emergecy. Double engine failure. He ran the tank dry.He was able to light them back up a few hundred feet off the deck and make it home.
