If the wing tanks had fuel, and the nose tank was getting low, then the
fuel
pump system hahs failed - or partially so...

Could be plugged screen in the pump

failed pump - diaphragm, etc,

or_ if you just annualed the airplane aand performed the AD pon the pump -
and
I have seen this happpen many times - the top of the pump was not
tightened
properly, letting the pump suck in air..... Torque it properly - see the
AD...

It appears thart this AD is necessary to prevent pump failure from water
being
trapped in the pume and freezing - destroying yhe pump, or other things
associated with water in the fuel --- BUT if the pump top cover is not
torqued
properly, it will suck in ait instead of fuel,  and you'll shortly be
limited
on your cross country to the cowl tank, regardless of the fuel in the
wings.....


Fly Safe - have fun
