Set the 744 refuel panel to auto at say 145T and tail selected, all tanks fill at the same time, the tail is a slow filling tank, guess small pipes to keep weight down.

From memory most airlines use 129T approx for tail fuel, some airlines use 138T, guessed it just suits that airlines config and saves a bit of fuel for them.
