Airbus FCOM procedure...gravity fuel feeding

Hi there , just wanted to confirm that what u mean is that if we fly above fl300 and wait for 30 min as advised in the fuel feeding table the file is assumed to be deaerated , ie all of it's air molecules have been taken away or got rid off, but if we see the FCOM gravitynfeeding pro it also says tht this 30 min time is for type jet a/a1 fuel and that type b fuel grvity feeding ALT or level is fl 100 , can u please explain the procedure in a little easier manner, and how does this affect the fuel feeding procedure. I am currently studying for my command upgrade and I was asked this by a trainin cap tin and I did gave him an answer on the similar terms of what u have mentioned but he wasn't too satisfied with it , so is there an easier and more meaning full answer to it ? Just wondering and also please clarify the diff in gravity fuel feeding levels ie fl300 for type A n A1 and why fl 100 for type b fuel,

Looking forward for an easier answer... Thanks guys
