not a dramatic story, but one worth telling...

Good lesson. I do have a question, though. Were you by any chance
monitoring your fuel pressure gauge at the time? I'm not sure if your
Comanche will be similar, but whenever I'm trying to empty a tank (for
maintenance or to extend range), I always see the fuel pressure start
to dip a good 10 minutes before the tank is really empty. That's my
tipoff to switch and I generally have a gallon left at that point.

Just wondering,
