[member=153]LP[/member] The Centre belly tank (fuselage) is always used first, both for safety and then the wings as they are designed to compensate for that loss and wing flex in flight.
The fully loaded wings in any event, can support the entire fuselage, belly tank, pax, cargo etc. Wings generally hold 70% of the entire fuel load.
Burning that centre tank first, in turn, reduces strain on the wing roots though less wind bending movement.
