If you have 2 t in the left side and reaching 0 in the right hand side due to the fact that you developed a large imbalance and have been forced to divert and hold, how do you crossfeed? Left side pumps failed, so right hand pumps pumped for a while and now you have the imbalance. When the wing with the pumps, which is the lighter wing, depletes the remaining fuel before the left wing does. How do you use the other wing fuel by gravity now?
