## Probable cause

low pressure in the fuel lines caused when the crossfeed valve was closed and the boost pumps to the  effected fuel tank were turned off, a fuel pressure surge (spike) accompanied by a rapid drop in high pressure pump output and burner line pressures, when boosted fuel was reintroduced to the system, which resulted in temporary fuel starvation to the three engines, and the inadequate aircraft/equipment design by production personnel (STC holder).  A factor which contributed to this incident was the flight engineer's management of the fuel system.
