Phillip, I'll probably be judged a pi$$ poor pilot with my hair on fire but in the Bonanza, I routinely ran the aft tank dry. Also ran the wing tank (singular) dry on occasion. In the Bonanza excess fuel was always pumped back into the left tank so I never ran that one dry. Started everytime without hesitation..........................as a side note, I always knew where the nearest airports were when it was about to happen:-)
