It's about the AUX fuel panel on the Captain and F/O side of the panel.

Which Alert and MAINT messages can be displayed there?
It would be nice to see a list of them if possible.

On photos on airliners.net I've seen "Fuelling in progress", "Forward pressure sensor" shown on parked aircraft.

I ask this to be able to make our sim BBJ as realistic as possible.

Thanks in advance for any replies :)

I have had a look through my manuals and there is nothing there to help you.
You might want to try the engineers forum.
As an aside the Aux fuel system is not a Boeing product but installed later under an STC. The one I am familiar with is from a company called PATS. They may be worth contacting.

Hope that helps.

...and for true fidelity make the indicator very, very bright, undimmable and don't forget to throw in code to bring up lots of spurious messages.

Provides cockpit illumination and plenty to read during a long night.:} :} Roll on the actual Service Bulletin to sort this out.
