Improper Fuel Management -- If the engine failure cause is determined to be improper fuel
management, set the HIGH boost pump to OFF and resume fight.
Engine Driven Fuel Pump Failure -- If fuel management is correct, failure of the engine driven
fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter is probable. An engine driven fuel pump failure is probable
when engine will only operate with HIGH BOOST pump ON. If practicable, reduce power to
75% or less and land as soon as possible. Do not set the mixture too rich for descent or lan-
ding.
Improper Mixture Setting -- If fuel management is correct and the engine driven fuel pump is
functioning properly, it is possible the mixture is either too lean or too rich.
Possible over rich conditions:
S
Very low power settings at high altitude and rich mixture.
S
Very low power settings with the fuel boost on and rich mixture.
S
Severe induction system blockage, leakage, or turbo failure and rich mixture.
Possible over lean conditions:
S
Advancing the throttle or prop from a lean condition before richening.
S
HIGH Fuel boost switched off from a lean condition before richening.
S
Vapor in fuel line (likely to happen in very hot ambient conditions at altitude).
S
High altitude descent in lean condition with no corresponding throttle or mixture
change.
