8pieced I rarely concur with TC but on this occasion he is right.

Quite how you can feel justified in the realisation that having two captions on the panel clearly indicating that your transfer pumps are off with a couple of hundred kilos lef in your tanks is reasonable speaks volumes for the level of knowledge you have had of how your rather simple system works.

We have 4 pumps, five jet pumps and 11 tanks working the same full feeder tank system. No one I am aware of on this type has managed to "starve" the engines.

You have not discovered the holy grail. You have just been forced to recognise how poor your knowledge and awareness has been. If that smarts a bit suck it up cos other people's live depend on you knowing exactly what the indications, cautions and warning backstops mean in your helicopter.

I do however admire your candour is fessing up. Now look at all the other systems and make sure you know how they also work.
