Hi crashbar.
It's hard to explain. So take a look at the two images I have here to see the settings I am using to fly the B-52 with the fuel being fed from the Left Tip fuel tank only. All the other tanks are empty. I was able to do a flight from YMML, out to about 50nm before returning and landing again. I did that using only 7725 lbs of fuel.
This first image show the setting of the knobs. The explanation for the colored circles is on the image but I'll write them here.
The red circles means the knobs are closed/off.
The green circles mean the knobs are open/on.
The yellow circles means I'm not sure if they are in the open/on or closed/off position. I assume they are open/on.
The blue circle shows that this knob is the only one below or beside a fuel gauge that is open/on.
The second image show that all the engines are running using only the Left Tip fuel tank.
Hope this helps
Mark
