Question 747 fuel system

OK, would like to know why a 747 does not transfer fuel rearwards like an airbus to maintain aft C of G? Is it because they dont have to, or because they cant? If it is because they dont have to, why? Is it because they already have minimal down load at the tail, or a typically rear C of G?

Any help appreciated

Cheers P.R.
