MLG ACFT FUEL LOAD QUESTIONED BY DISPATCHER BECAUSE WING TANKS WEREN'T FILLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FUEL SLIP. LEAD LOAD AGENT EXPLAINED THAT IN THE HEAT OF SUMMER THEY DON'T FILL THE WINGS IN ORDER TO PREVENT EXPANSION AND SPILLAGE.

Narrative

THE FUELER IN ABQ DID NOT FUEL THE ACFT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FUEL SLIP. THE FUEL SLIP CALLED FOR A STANDARD FUEL LOAD WITH THE WING TANKS FULL AT 9266 LBS AND THE REMAINING FUEL IN THE CTR TANK. THE CAPT NOTIFIED ME THAT THE FUELER ACTUALLY FILLED THE WING TANKS TO 8700 LBS PER WING WITH THE REMAINING FUEL IN THE CTR. I CONTACTED THE LEAD LOAD AGENT WHO IN TURN REDUCED THE MAX FUEL WT BY THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE CTR TANK. THE FLT DEPARTED. I CALLED THE FUELERS IN ABQ AND QUESTIONED WHY THEY DID NOT FUEL THE ACFT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FUEL SLIP. THE FUELING AGENT TOLD ME THEY DID NOT FILL WING TANKS FULL IN THE SUMMERTIME IN ORDER TO AVOID A POSSIBLE FUEL SPILL. I ALSO SPOKE WITH AN AGENT IN ABQ WHO ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY. MY CONCERN WITH THIS IS THAT WITH NO INTERVENTION ON THE DISPATCHER OR CAPT'S PART; NO CORRECTION TO THE WT AND BAL CALCULATIONS WOULD BE MADE. I AM WONDERING IF WE ARE DEPARTING ABQ ON OCCASION WITH INCORRECT FIGURES. THIS IS A PROB THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
