With over 2500 hrs on Seneca Fives alone I can say there is no excuse to run out of fuel on that aircraft other than grosse miscalculation of winds.

The DDMP is so accurate it will tell you literally to the minute when both engines will stop.

What will reduce that time? Incorrect leaning but even incorrect leaning will still give them a reduced time to dry tanks.

Conclusion bad piloting as simple as that.

Do you have a copy in English?
