Jay, during a period of "shore duty" in the Navy, I had the misfortune
to ocassionly fly the SNB (Secret Navy Bomber) known to civilians as
the Beachcraft D-18. It had no electric fuel pumps, but rather a
mechanical "wobble" pump located on the floor between the pilots.

It was standard procedure to run each tank dry. When the engine quit,
the pilot switched tanks and started pumping the wobble pump like crazy.
Never had a problem.

I find that many of your posts are colored by the limited types of
aircraft that you have flown and the limited conditions under which
you have flown those aircraft.

Bob, are you really justifying running gas tanks dry in modern GA planes
because of your experience flying an antique POS that didn't have fuel
pumps?

Just because you survived it, doesn't make it smart.
