Thanks for the headsup! ATSB investigation link here.

Appreciate the frank report by the pilot, thank you Michelle, quite useful to many of us I expect.

While I understand the tanks weren't swapped (and why) I was left wondering if the pump was switched on and/or what the fuel pressure gauge showed. Not being critical, just that they weren't specifically mentioned and I'm curious about this from a technical perspective.

Interesting comment re the RHS tank pickup and missing filter - it's been a long time since I looked inside one of them, anyone know if that's visible through the filler? Could be a useful additional check if so.

FP.
