	Hello, in the last flight has fuel imbalance coming (due my mistake - forgot to switch off APU before departure ), in 5 hours of flight difference of 1.1 tons, EICAS message rolled up. So, in keeping with standard procedure for these cases XFER button on fuel control panel was swithed on, at that point in time in left tank was 6.3 and 7.4 in right tank. At landing time fuel disbalance has remained in 1.1 t. It means only one thing - fuel transfer pump is not working or working incorrectly Is anyone face this problem also?

	Hi phoenix. What I normally do for an imbalance of fuel is turn of the fuel pumps for the tank with less fuel in it, which would have been the left wing tank in your case. When both tanks are equal, I turn the fuel pumps back on. I don't know if this is the correct way, but it works fine for me. Mark

	And you must to switch on the transfer pumps as well.. Quote: Fuel balancing is accomplished by opening the crossfeed valve and turning off the fuel pump switches for the left or right main fuel tank that has the lowest quantity. Fuel balancing may be done in any phase of flight Ok, thanks to all for help.

	Thanks for clarifying that. Even though I don't remember switching on the transfer pumps. Mark
