I think that's what the OP initially reported.
To put it simply, it seems like the on-screen messages for the fuel selector don't match the fuel tanks indicated on the fuel gauge: you move your fuel gauge switch to show the left front tank and it might show empty, but clicking the fuel selector until the on-screen message says the front left tank is active, you see the engines are still running.

I suspect it's just a case of mismatched on-screen messages, since the messages don't seem to match the fuel selector valve positions either. There are two levers on the fuel selector, one for the front and one for the rear tanks.
It seems that each one is configured to select one of each pair of tanks (so, it's one lever for the forward tanks and one for the rear tanks). When a lever is in the middle position, i assume the fuel feed is switched off. When it's on one of the side positions, i guess it draws fuel from the corresponding tank.

So, if the front lever points left and the back lever is in the middle we should be drawing fuel from the front left tank. If the front lever is in the middle and the rear lever is to the right, we should be drawing fuel from the rear right tank. We can't manipulate each lever separately, but clicking on them it cycles through all available positions. However, the on-screen messages don't seem to match what the lever positions indicate, neither what the fuel gauge says.
