The gravity fuel feed ceiling is based upon whether the fuel in the tanks has deaerated and this is related to flight time above FL300
Sorry but as a mere engineer, can someone explain to me how fuel aereates, and what controls it? Is it that the air pressure on the fuel in the tank decreases with altitude?. Never heard this before.
