There is always a small amount of fuel that is unuseable in the tank as the suction inlets to the boost pump fuel lines are situated an inch or so above the bottom of the tank.However you must also remember the hydraulic fluid heat exchangers are in the wing tanks and if you run the tanks below 750kgs there is insufficient fuel left to cool the hyd fluid.
