Crossfeeding

Saw a program on TV last night about the airplane crash that killed half of the rock band Lynnard Skinnard(?) in the '70-ties.
Convair 240, lost the left engine somewhere over Alabama,
pilots didn't get the crossfeeding quite right and the right engine quit also.....
Must admit don't know anything about the fuel system of a Convair bit I bet it's a little more conplicated than the average twin.
Chuck or Big Pistons any experience on this type of plane?
