Even the KC-135Q could burn body tank fuel. IIRC They could fly on JP7,
but were limited to enroute flight, and not TO, Landing, and a few other
instances.

Can a tanker aircraft draw on the fuel they carry to refuel other
planes, or are they limited to the fuel that model of plane would
normally carry?


With the exception of specially modified tankers like the KC-135s used to
refuel SR-71s they can use all the fuel on board.

The SR-71 uses a different fuel than the 135.

I stand corrected.
