Used to be a procedure on the A300 to put 200 ltrs. extra into the centre and 1 & 2 tanks for max range. There was a note to depart within 1 hour and avoid taxi turns at speed, to avoid expanding warm fuel venting overboard. I did this a number of times at Sharjah. never had a problem, but some of my colleagues did.
