What is the purpose of the pump crossfeed valve?

Allow operation of engines from one tank
To pump fuel to external tanks for jettisoning
Prevent overpressurization of the fuel system
Enable emergency fuel dumping

The correct answer is: Allow operation of engines from one tank

The pump crossfeed valve's purpose is to allow the operation of engines from one fuel tank if necessary. This is crucial in case one tank has an issue, ensuring that the engine can still receive fuel from another tank. This system provides redundancy and safety in case of fuel system malfunctions or imbalances.
