Hi. Interesting posts here. Assuming no leak -

1) If the Fuel Crossfeed is left open, then even with a pump delivering a higher pressure, the imbalance will not develop any faster than having the crossfeed closed.

2) ECAM should direct you to turn fuel pumps on and off to maintain balance within limits.

3) All the fuel is now available all the time - even if one tank runs dry.

4) What does the A330 ECAM "Fuel L+R Wing Tk lo lvl" say to do with the Fuel X Feed? Please see my thread

I'm concerned that Airbus have hidden my fuel guages on a systems page and replaced them with a total FOB - but not provided me with a fool proof fuel management procedure when single engine.
