By the way, in reality they use center tanks first then wing tanks; this to avoid problems upon landing where the tanks under the passengers, upon an
accident, ignite and kill people. Pilots would rather the wings ignite then the fuselage. It's also why in aircraft such as the Level-D763 the
centers tend to burn off first, and why most pictures on Airliners.Net show the Center tanks at 1,000 lbs or less.
