Correct! Wrong!

Random fuel imbalance must not exceed 453 kgs / 1000 lbs for taxi, takeoff, flight or landing.

With failure of all generators, the center tank fuel:

Will be fed to the tanks by the center tank scavenge jet pump.

Cannot be used.

Can be used by switching off all wing tank pumps and opening the crossfeed valve.

Correct! Wrong!

With the main tank fuel pump No. 1 FWD Switch ON, the center tank fuel scavenge jet pump operates automatically to transfer any remaining center tank fuel to main tank No. 1. The center tank scavenge jet pump operates when:

Please select 2 correct answers

The Center fuel tank is about 3/4 full.

Both Center Tank Fuel Pump switches are turned off.

Either engine is operating.

Main tank No. 1 quantity is about one-half.

Correct! Wrong!

There are CDS fuel alert for:

Fuel quantity low in the main tank, impending fuel filter bypass, excessive fuel flow difference between engines.

Fuel quantity low in the main tank, both center tank fuel pumps producing low or no pressure with fuel in the center tank, excessive fuel quantity difference between main tanks.

Fuel quantity low in center or main tank, either center tank fuel pump producing low or no pressure with fuel in center tank, excessive fuel flow difference between engines.
