Random fuel system problems

I saw two different fuel system problems and I wildly guess they're connected, so I'm posting them in one topic, but I can't bu sure.

1. In our group we had two instances that centerline drop tank didn't feed fuel. Inner tanks worked ok, but drop tank was full and not feeding. EXT TANKS switches where to NORM, then checked to OVERRIDE.

2. I peronally had it twice - random fuel low alert mid flight. Last time I made a screenshots:

Both bugs are completle random one in dozens of flights, so unable to provide tracks or reproduce.

No.

It wasnt a yes no question, it was an either or.

I can see that the fuel bit has been initiated by the Boxed FLBIT on the fuel DDI page. 

Activation of this BIT will cause a master caution and FUEL LO warning to appear on the Left DDI within 13 seconds, these cautions will remain for at least 1 minute and will be removed as the BIT concludes with the FLBIT automatically being unboxed.

If you are certain that you aren't activating the FLBIT manually, then it might be a double click issue as the FLBIT pushbutton is the same as the pushbutton to enter the FUEL page

So probably I hit the button even not knowing it. I didn't bit test by purpose.

It probably was it.

So, from my initial list only #1 is unresolved

Centreline tanks not feeding eh? Bleed air off, fuel probe not fully retracted, Weight on Wheels. Any of those?
