	Thanks Lou. I never thought about the fact that you could risk having the fuel go overboard out the vent!

	Mark, The small reserve tanks on each wing tip just gravity feed into their respective main tank. The fact that they are just a bit higher due to wing dihedral is what makes that possible. I often wondered if I opened the reserve crossfeed with a full main what would happen. The handbook logic was that there needed to be enough room in the main for the fuel to fit into the tank. Since the fuel vent is right at the wing tip it is logical that fuel could leak out, but I never tried it! � Lou

	Hi everybody, I am just starting with CS707 and I'm still learning it. I have written fuel system tutorial for the Historic Jetliners Group with many guidelines on how to manage the 707 fuel system. It is avaliable at simviation.com/hjg/panels/boeing/707fueltut.zip
