Robby, the simple answer to your problem is not to try to transfer fuel while the engines are running. As you may recall, we talked about not understanding why that auxilliary tank fuel line had been plumbed into a supply line instead of into a return line, so I would think that might be a fairly easy fix if you want to be able to transfer fuel to the primary tank while underway.

That being said, it sounds like you may have just gotten your eyes crossed (easy to do) and inadvertently shut off the fuel to the engine you "flamed out".

Naw.There are only two valves and one electrical switch.I just let it run too long.Its a good thing we didn't flame them both out.Each valve feeds from the aux to the main.
