A330 fuel loss reduction

Imagine a fuel wing leak and you apply the QRH checklist FUEL LOSS REDUCTION after the FUEL LEAK checklist.

Does it make sense to transfer fuel from the center tank and trim tank to both wings what the procedure is asking for? 🤔

It’s better explained in the FCOM ABN procedure where additional notes are published. This below is for A330-200F. A330-300 also covers the leak from trim tank scenario.

“Apply this procedure only if suggested by the FUEL LEAK procedure, and if the flight crew needs to minimize the fuel loss. It covers a leak from the wing: A manual Trim tank transfer (via the Center tank) and/or manual Center tank transfer can be done, to symmetrically transfer fuel to both inner tanks, and avoid an automatic fuel transfer to only the least full inner tank.”
