4.Sk Cruise Checklist (continued)
CRUISING (continued)
The electric fuel pump should be turned ON before switching tanks,
and should be left ON for a short period thereafter. In order to keep the
airplane in best lateral trim during cruising flight the fuel should be used
alternately from each tank. Do not run tanks completely dry in flight. The
electric fuel pump should be normally OFF so that any malfunclion of the
engine driven fuel pump is immediately apparent. If signs of fuel starvation
shoulci occur at any time during flight, fuel exhaustion should be suspected,
at which time the fuel selector should be immediately positioned to the
other tank and the electric fuel pump switched to the ON position.
