I have the Avianca Boeing 707-321B and I cannot get fuel into it. I get the message that my fuel is dangerously low in the selected tank. I try cntrl-x (doesn"t work) adjusted fuel in the Create a Flight screen and nothing works. I get on the tarmac and the engines will not start. Help me please because I really like this aircraft otherwise.

open the aircraft cfg file for that aircraft and look for the following lines
[fuel]
Center1 = 0.0, 0.0, -4.0, 26100.0, 3.0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
LeftMain = -7.0, -35.0, 0.0, 9300.0, 3.0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
RightMain = -7.0, 35.0, 0.0, 9300.0, 3.0 //Longitudinal (feet), Lateral (feet), Vertical (feet), Usable(gallons), Unusable (gallons)
fuel_type = 2 //Fuel type: 1 = Avgas, 2 = JetA
number_of_tank_selectors = 1
electric_pump=0
These line come from the default Boeing 777-300
If you do not see any lines like these that is your problem. 8-)

That could definitely be the problem. ;)
Otherwise, I'd suggest editing your aircraft.cfg (as mentioned above) or reinstalling the aircraft (also mentioned above). I assume that this particular 707 is the only aircraft that does this, correct?
