"The supply tanks are automatically and continuously fed fuel from the main tank."
If I were an attorney, I might get a little mileage out of such an official statement in a civil case pursuing damages against Eurocopter/Airbus Helicopters. When one considers that the AAIB has found fuel in the main tank and both supply tanks basically dry, or darned near, then the fuel did not indeed automatically and continuously feed fuel from the main tank."
Granted, as so many EC-135 operators have pointed out, Art being the latest, it is not automatic.
It may be that the attorney for Eurocopter/Airbus Helicopters would be able to competently explain this away and point to the actual features and functions of the system ... buy why put out misleading info like that on the official site?
Makes no sense to me.
