I once tried to check my reserve tank after doing some driving through the
mountains, and when I switched to the aux tank the engine started to die,
telling me that clearly the aux tank was nearly empty.
prob a different problem, like the tank switch, the hoses, etc.
as you go up and down hill, almost all of the gas goes to the AUX tank,
which is why a lot of "old timers" always run on the AUX tank
