Full fuel load going to Italy. Cold fuel on a hot tarmac. Vents have to open for expansion. I have seen 300 pounds leak out the vents from a parked plane. It has to or the rivets will pop like popcorn.

Almost surely not a full fuel load from Newark to Venice.

UA used to run a 747SP from ORD to HKG. They’d fill it until it came out the overflow.
