Be interested to know how you can transfer fuel from the CWT to any other tank in flight? I know on the Classic 74 it is possible to run the override jetttison pumps in the CWT, opening the jettison transfer valve pressurises the refuel / jettison manifold but you would need to be on the ground to select the refuel valve of the individual tanks open? There is of course gravity transfer from the reserves to their associated main tank but this would be colder fuel the tanks being located outboard of the outboard engines.
It is possible to feed the cross feed manifold from the wing tank jettison pumps via the CWT jettison transfer valve but I cant see how to get the fuel in to any other tank in flight. (Can be done on the ground in a number of ways).
