Narrative:
*Reporter has lengthy explanation for all sorts of possibilities reference his flameout during a descent procedure. He lays great emphasis on the possibility that he had mishandled the fuel xfeed procedure, also using center tank fuel that wasn't supposed to be there and possibly contained water. PIC was taken off schedule until a simulator review ride could establish his competency.
