A method and apparatus for inert gas distribution in a fuel tank, the apparatus comprising a tube (144), an opening (146) in the tube (144), and a valve (156) associated with the opening (146). the tube (144) is configured to carry an inert gas (138) in a fuel tank (122). The valve (156) is configured to control an amount of inert gas (138) that exits the opening (146) based on a level (118) of fuel (114) relative to the opening (146).
