I don't want to preach to the choir, but time to review the "Fuel Supply Management" page in my backup website www.SkymasterUS.com -- especially for older models with separate auxiliary fuel tanks.

These kind of stories, I have to admit, makes me sick to my stomach. Look and the experience this pilot had. It makes me think, "is there any hope for me?"

The next question that comes to mind is "I've completely lost my front engine in a Skymaster out in the middle of nowhere, and still made it to the airport on one engine. What was this planes problem?"
