I certainly hope these 'experts' aren't involved in the real investigation!

Why
Because the fuel isn't being used from the Centre Tank.. because there wouldn't be any in the Centre Tank during the descent... and...
jetliners do have fuel heaters. They use heat exchangers on the engines (using hot oil to warm cold fuel). To a lesser extent, there are also heat exchangers in one of the wing tanks to cool hydraulic fluid.

Even if the damage to the pumps was prior to the crash, all 4 pumps would have to be damaged to cause both engines to not respond... and the gravity feeds would have to be blocked, too.

From where are they getting these so-called experts???
