Default RE: How does a fuel tank work? help?

The third line is a fill line. They are normally used on planes that have a closed in cowl when you don't have access to the pickup line to fill the tank. The fill line here is usually connected to a fueling valve, a fuel dot, or some other remote fueling setup. It is curved to the bottom of the tank so that you can pump the fuel back out of the tank.
