just a minor point Going Boeing the aux tank transfers fuel to the CWT using cabin pressure not jet pumps. I t pressurises the aux tank with cabin pressure which basically vents into the lower pressure CWT. On the ground if you need to do a transfer there is an electrically powered blower to pressurise the aux tank. It works but I believe it is slow.
