Then, by definition, you did NOT "run out of gas." You had a mechanical
problem. This is similar to the concept that the only true cause of death is lack of oxygen to the human brain. Take it one more step, and I'm with you. Running out of gas and crashing due to outflying your on-board fuel is like brain death caused by purposefully hanging oneself. Running out of gas and crashing due to a fuel system failure is like brain death caused by a sudden heart attack. Either way your dead, right? But one is far different than the other. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
