I have done some tests. It apears that the fuel tanks are not working correctly.

Each Engine is using the fuel from its own main tank. I couldn't find a way to get fuel from the left main tank into the right engine.

°|° Normal situation. Both main tanks are used until empty.

°\°
°/° Left reserve tank pumping into left main tank (if not full)

°\°
°\° Right reserve tank pumping into left main (if not full)

°/°
°\° Bug: Right reserve pumping into left reserve

°/°
°/° Bug: Nothing happens (Left reserve pumping into itself?)

The right engine stops after the 350l are used up, no matter what. It is possible to fill up the left main tank, but it is not possible to get reserve-fuel into the right main tank. According to manuals I have seen, the red light from the reserve tanks should be switched on when the reserve tanks are empty.

If I remember this right, it was different befor the latest patch. I think the front switch was controling the usage of the main tanks.
