Question

Here is the story, as I understand it. The two major fuel lines going into the engine fractured or became separated just upstream of the firewall shut-off on the effected engine. This engine shut down due to fuel starvation and the remainder of the fuel drained out of the two open lines at which time the other engine shut down.
