What was the cause of the crash?
Fuel starvation'? Not likely to have a dual engine failure...

Fuel starvation = fuel in tanks but not reaching cylinders.
Fuel exhaustion = no fuel in tanks.
Which situation do you mean Warthog pls?
Cheers bm:ugh:

Could be either one of those problems.
Maybe it could be a fuel exhaustion, a week-end warrior, with the wrong attitude, "get there is'm"
Looking forward to the NTSB report, probably in flying magazine in a couple of months...

Judging from the second report, there must have been some fuel still onboard.No fatals as of yet. Something to be glad about. :)

well if you don't manage the fuel system properly transferring wings to mains after the right interval you will have fuel starvation, both at pretty much the same time:eek:
