Hello,

I install the external fuel tanks, whether just one or all three. However when I start the engines, and I select the Center fuel tank to transfer from, but the fuel in the wings still decrease as I see the fuel gauge decreasing. From what I remember the fuel gauge is only suppose to decrease when the external tanks are empty.

How do I transfer from the external tanks instead of the internal tanks?

If you run afterburners, you will drain the wings faster than the external tanks can pump.

Ok so the tanks drain from the external tanks and internal tanks simultaneously then?

Yes. The external tanks are pumped into the internal tanks, not directly into the engine.
