Narrative:

On climb out on missed approach, upon reaching 3000 ft, the right engine quit. 'Shot' the approach with single engine. Determined after gas fill that the right auxiliary tank (15 gals) didn't transfer into the right main. So therefore, it appears the transfer pump was probably defective. Corrective action to be taken.
