It seems mostly to be either fuel mismanagement or the builder modified the fuel system for some reason. By the way, "fuel starvation" is not necessarily the same thing as running out of fuel. Fuel starvation also covers those instances where there is fuel on board but for some reason it's not getting to the engine. Tom Gourley
