My apologies if this has been covered.
I used the Forum Search & Google Advanced Search to look for "Aux Fuel", but couldn't locate the actual threads (Google) or got hits on Every Page (Forum Search) that was picking up the sticky topics.
I think Google's advanced search is hitting on pages that have moved since the site was last indexed.
I just read the following info in my TM:
This is a really handy feature, but I'm curious what happens when the auxiliary tank runs dry? Will the Aux pump keep pumping, run dry, and burn out? You would think that the system was specifically designed to cope with that scenario, but I couldn't find anything in the TM that described what happened when the aux fuel supply ran dry.
Thanks!!

I just read the following info in my TM:
1.16.5.5 When the ENGINE CONTROL switch is set on PRIME & RUN AUX FUEL, it actuates the auxiliary fuelpump and transfers fuel from the auxiliary fuel supply to the fuel tank. The CIM shuts off the auxiliary fuelpump when the fuel tank is full and reactivates the pump as the level drops.
