INERT GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR A FUEL TANK A method and apparatus comprising a tube (144), an opening (146) in the tube (144), and a valve (152) associated with the opening (146). The tube (144) is configured to carry an inert gas in a fuel tank (122). The valve (152) s configured to control an amount of the inert gas that exits the opening (146) based on a level of fuel relative to the opening (146).
