While still on the ground the fuel is returned to the tanker truck.
The fuel was used to safely purge 100% of the air from the tank, as the fuel is withdrawn a low-pressure nitrogen charge is placed on top.

How does one defuel 15000 pounds of fuel? With fuel tank truck I guess. When I was in the Air Force we had a "button pusher" guy playing with controls in the cockpit that he knew nothing about and set the switches to dump fuel. When someone later applied power to the airplane, it proceeded to dump 12,000 lbs. of JP-4 onto the tarmac.

It rains fuel onto anyone or thing underneath....
