     Note: In a low fuel situation, both centre tank pumps may be selected ON and all centre tank fuel may be used.

If the main tanks are not full, the zero fuel gross weight of the airplane plus the weight of centre tank fuel may exceed the maximum zero fuel gross weight by up to 5,000 pounds (2,300 kilograms) for takeoff, climb and cruise and up to 3,000 pounds (1,400 kilograms) for descent and landing, provided that the effects of balance (CG) have been considered.

If a centre tank fuel pump fails with fuel in the centre tank, accomplish the FUEL PUMP LOW PRESSURE non-normal procedure.

When defuelling centre or main wing tanks, the Fuel Pump Low Pressure indication lights must be monitored and the fuel pumps positioned to OFF at the first indication of fuel pump low pressure.  Defuelling with passengers on board is prohibited.
