Which tank receives fuel from the Forward Main Tank via transfer pumps?

• A. Supply Tanks
• B. Aft Main Tank
• C. Forward Main Tank
• D. Center Tank

Answer: (A)

Understanding how fuel moves between tanks using transfer pumps. Transfer pumps push fuel from one tank to another to balance weight and ensure engines have a steady feed. From the Forward Main Tank, fuel is sent to the Supply Tanks through these transfer pumps. The Supply Tanks are the designated receivers for fuel coming from the Forward Main Tank, and they feed fuel to the engines as needed. While other tanks like the Aft Main Tank or Center Tank store or balance fuel, the path described moves fuel specifically to the Supply Tanks, which is why they are the correct recipient.
