Narrative:

Over lbf master caution came on and #3 tank aft pump pressure light was the cause. I placed the forward #3 tank pump switch to on and the associated low pressure light came on. I noticed #3 fuel pressure decreasing so I placed all xfeeds open and all transfer pump switches to on. This action was too late to prevent #3 engine from flaming out as the #3 tank was empty. #1 tank had 9500 pounds, #2 had 12500 pounds. Clearance was obtained and a descent initiated with the first officer flying the airplane. The captain and I completed the engine shutdown checklist. Then, because we knew the cause of the flameout and all other #3 engine indications were normal, we accomplished the engine restart checklist successfully at approximately FL300. Normal landing at den. All fuel panel fill valves were indicating closed and all transfer pump switches were off with no abnormal indications prior to engine flameout. The last time I can recall doing a panel scan was directly after passing obh. I was talking on the arinc frequency with same controller at the time of occurrence about an unrelated question.

Title: FUEL EXHAUSTION IN 1 TANK OF ACR WDB PRODUCES A FLAME OUT, INFLT ENG SHUTDOWN AND RESTART OCCURS IN A SEQUENCED FASHION.

Narrative: OVER LBF MASTER CAUTION CAME ON AND #3 TANK AFT PUMP PRESSURE LIGHT WAS THE CAUSE. I PLACED THE FORWARD #3 TANK PUMP SWITCH TO ON AND THE ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I NOTICED #3 FUEL PRESSURE DECREASING SO I PLACED ALL XFEEDS OPEN AND ALL TRANSFER PUMP SWITCHES TO ON. THIS ACTION WAS TOO LATE TO PREVENT #3 ENG FROM FLAMING OUT AS THE #3 TANK WAS EMPTY. #1 TANK HAD 9500 LBS, #2 HAD 12500 LBS. CLRNC WAS OBTAINED AND A DSCNT INITIATED WITH THE FO FLYING THE AIRPLANE. THE CAPT AND I COMPLETED THE ENG SHUTDOWN CHKLIST. THEN, BECAUSE WE KNEW THE CAUSE OF THE FLAMEOUT AND ALL OTHER #3 ENG INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL, WE ACCOMPLISHED THE ENG RESTART CHKLIST SUCCESSFULLY AT APPROX FL300. NORMAL LNDG AT DEN. ALL FUEL PANEL FILL VALVES WERE INDICATING CLOSED AND ALL TRANSFER PUMP SWITCHES WERE OFF WITH NO ABNORMAL INDICATIONS PRIOR TO ENG FLAMEOUT. THE LAST TIME I CAN RECALL DOING A PANEL SCAN WAS DIRECTLY AFTER PASSING OBH. I WAS TALKING ON THE ARINC FREQ WITH SAME CTLR AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE ABOUT AN UNRELATED QUESTION.
