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?


I got a private tour of a RAF ?Victor? tanker a few decades ago.
It came across for an air show (with good beer aboard..).
"Say, don't pull anything yellow & black" we were warned.

The crew member in charge of such things showed me the fuel manifold
panel and pointed out it had no separate "our" tankage...if he
screwed up, they all swam.
