I was advised first hand that the aircraft suffered damage to the fuel system / pumps to the point that spare parts and a tech crew were flown out to repair it before it could go anywhere. Apparently fuel exhaustion in the pumps will cause this...
Did it say somewhere in the ATSB report the aircraft experienced fuel exhaustion?
If fuel exhaustion damages the fuel system, how do aircraft with multiple fuel tanks get by when they run tanks down. In fact, doesn't the 737 have an auxiliary tank?
