cdf come on bloke who said anything about running OUT of fuel. I think you would find, it would be quite a common practice to run the aux tanks down to nothing. The engine does not usually stop dead you get a drop in power then a surge most pilots know to within minutes of when this will happen, not to mention low fuel pressure lights will come on before the drop in power & surge occur this is when most pilots will change tanks & all is ok
