Synopsis
A BE400 flight crew encountered a fuel system overpressure warning in flight that extinguished after following the appropriate checklist. Upon landing the aircraft was left wing low and upon inspection it was discovered that the right strut was extended to maximum and fuel was leaking from the left wingtip.
Narrative
During the initial climb we received a LH WING O'PRESS message. We followed the corresponding checklist. The left fuel transfer pump automatically turned itself off. As directed by the checklist; we reset the pump; and the rest of the flight was completed normally.There was a right crosswind during the approach. Following the touchdown I noticed the airplane was in a left wing down bank that seemed extreme. The Captain brought the aircraft to a stop and as he did the 'stick shaker' was activated repeatedly. An airport operations vehicle was passing on our left. We were instructed to contact them directly on a frequency provided by the Tower. We were informed by the operations personnel that the tire was not flat; but the strut looked low on the left side.We asked Ground Control for permission to exit the aircraft and when we got outside we noticed fuel pouring out of the tip of the left wing. We also noticed that the right strut was extended to its limit. I'm not aware of anything we could have done differently to prevent this from happening. As soon as we were aware of a problem we stopped the aircraft; shut down the engines; and investigated to prevent any possible damage to our aircraft.
Second reporter narrative
Once I opened the door I noticed fuel was spilling out from the bottom of the left wing. Fire trucks were dispatched and a clean up of the fuel was conducted.
