THE PLT STATED THAT ONE TO TWO MINUTES AFTER THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS CHANGED FROM THE RIGHT TO LEFT TANK, THE ENG QUIT. THE AUX PUMP WAS TURNED ON AND FUEL SELECTOR CHANGED BACK TO THE RIGHT TANK. THEN TO AUX TANK THEN BACK TO LEFT TANK. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. INSPECTION REVEALED THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS ON THE LEFT TANK WHICH CONTAINED 10 GALLONS OF FUEL. ZERO FUEL WAS FOUND IN THE RIGHT TANK AND 20 GALLONS WAS PRESENT IN THE AUX TANK. AIR RESTART PROCEDURE IS TO SELECT FULLEST FUEL TANK, RETARD THE THROTTLE, MIXTURE RICH, AND AUX PUMP ON UNTIL POWER IS REGAINED.
