Based on that, have Boeing's published fuel loading procedures changed, from having to fill main tank 1 and 2 first, and then the center tank? (main tanks having to be full if center tank contains 453 kg or more)
If the planned fuel load for a given flight is below the sum of the main tank capacities, is it required to have the center tank contain 2300 kgs?
By the way, does anyone have exact information on the quantity of
unusable fuel in each tank?
