The center tank pumps are manually turned off when the tank reaches 2000 pounds (900Kg.). The scavange system then operates automatically to draw out the remaining fuel when the total fuel remaining reaches 29,000 pounds (do your own conversion). By the time you're on approach your center tank is empty and no pumps are running. I get that there may be some unusable fuel, but it isn't going anywhere.
