Ref Oz practices of yesteryear, fuel defueled could then not meet the required QA standards for reuse.


However, it was occasional practice to fuel direct from one aircraft to another .. eg, the company had an approved practice whereby, if an aircraft were stranded due diversion at a port where fuel was not available, a "tanker" would be flown in to refuel the problem girl and off they would go. In this latter case, QA aspects were maintained. I can't see a problem providing that the fuel remains within approved aircraft systems throughout.


Caveat - I am not a fuel expert.
