Summary
The pilot of an aircraft with two engines experienced fuel starvation while operating from the main fuel tanks. The rear engine failed first, was restarted, then both engines failed sequentially. The pilot selected the auxiliary fuel tanks, which contained fuel, but could not restart the engines because the auxiliary system lacked a fuel pump. This resulted in a forced landing.
Event Details
The pilot was consuming fuel from the main tanks when the rear engine stopped due to fuel starvation. He successfully restarted the rear engine. Shortly thereafter, the front engine quit, also from fuel starvation, and the pilot was unable to restart it. Approximately one minute later, the rear engine quit again, and the pilot could not restart it a second time.
Pilot Actions
The pilot then selected the auxiliary fuel tanks, which still had fuel. However, the auxiliary fuel tank system had no auxiliary fuel pump. Without a pump, the pilot was unable to restart either engine, and a forced landing became unavoidable.
