At one of our destinations the handlers use the manual method for fueling the aircraft, they select the switches up for all three tanks simultaniously, this method generates the AUTO-FEED FAULT ecam.

Is there any structual limitation against this method?:confused:

no,but the fuellers don't like it when the autoshutoff stops short of their target..The autoshutoff's(bugs)should still be used..:confused:

Why not dial up an extra 100kg (assuming you are using KGs) like everyone else?

Works everytime, and if you do find an a/c that is accurate and gives you that extra 0.1 of a tonne then almost all the pilots I have met are extremely grateful.

The old addage,"one only has too much fuel when one is on fire" springs to mind.:ok:
