Interesting read from MLB, well done.
I "ditched" 50 times in the summer - but I had floats on
Regarding a double engine failure in a Multi, purely for interest sake - One way which could cause a DEF on many types is to crossfeed only one engine and forget about it. If you do this, both engines feed off one tank, BUT the fuel return of the crossfed engine goes back into the tank on the side of that engine. The result is that you have a huge fuel flow from one tank (~whatever, say 30 gals/hr) with the other tank starting to fill up from the fuel retun. When full of course the excess fuel will be dumped overboard. So eventually both engines stop - as the tank they are running off is empty, but you still have full fuel in the other wing...
