   The Tristar Manual lists the fuel tanks for engines 1,2 and 3, but I cannot link them to the options on the FSX load fuel screen. Can someone tell me what each tank in the FSX screen applies to for the manual?
I'm trying to load 12000KG fuel (4000KG) for each engine, but no idea the order to fill the tanks.
Thanks in advance,
Gary

	I think (though I'll happily be corrected) that you need to load the fuel evenly across the tanks. Something in the back if my head is telling me that it was discussed during development and, while engines feed from specific tanks, the fuel is kept balanced for CG purposs by the onboard computers.
