I don't want to continue on the Boeing vs Airbus track but I remember that Airbus heats its fuel in the tank by pumping too much fuel to the engines, thus pressing the excessive warm fuel back into the outer tank where it warms up the remaining fuel there.

Doesn't Boeing have this feature? If you 747 driver talk about fuel temp alerts, do you have this with a similar kind of fuel warming or without?

I never flew Airbus widebody but I don't know of any incident or even a procedure in case of fuel temp too low. Anyone?
