Inerting fuel systems and methods for inerting fuel tanks are disclosed. An inerting fuel system may include an air inlet passage to receive inlet air, air separation modules to separate oxygen from the inlet air when received, and air separation module valves coupled between the air inlet passage and the air separation modules. The air separation module valves are associated with the air separation modules such that opening of one of the air separation module valves passes a portion of inlet air from the air inlet passage to the air separation module associated with that air separation module valve. A controller selectively opens the air separation module valves such that each of the air separation modules receives a substantially equal level of wear.
