If the aircraft does not have a fuel jettison system, then the refuel lines are emptied as soon as refuelling completed. The refuel gallery is only used for refuelling and is drained through NRVs into the tanks as soon as the pressure is off.
Thanks, good to know. I was wondering if the fuel trapped between the nozzle and the fueling valves run the risk to leak or something like that...
