Not on this plane, unfortunately. Gravity won't feed fuel from the nose tank for an hour because 90% of it will drain from the hose that was attached to the pump, into the engine compartment (or wherever the leak occured, maybe into the cabin!). If the thing doesn't catch fire, I'll probably have about 10 minutes of fuel. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Dold ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://home.pacbell.net/sdold/ Say NO to useless over-quoting ----------------------------------------------------------------
