Right on Go North,
I've got a heap of time on 402's and 310's and never had a problem. It's a carefree simple system. Can't for the life of me understand how anyone could screw it up. Mind you we'll all read about it when the ATSB report comes out. Maybe it wasn't fuel related. Might have just had too much air in the tanks. Personally, when flying a tip tank cessna that I hadn't flown before, I used to time how long it took from selecting aux's until the engine surged due the tank running dry. Take one minute off that and use that time period every time thereafter. Doesn't get any easier and as long as your vigilant you won't get caught out. Shouldn't be flying the bl00dy thing if you don't understand the fuel system. And as far as that goes who signed off his endorsement????
