Critical items to be checked after an engine failure include the position of the fuel tank selector. Critical items to be checked include the fuel pressure gauge to see if the electric fuel pump is needed. It may be wise to change the position of the fuel selector valve even though the fuel gauge indicates fuel in all tanks, because fuel gauges can be inaccurate.
