Many airlines will only you have you dump enough fuel to make a safe overweight landing. (767 only lets you dump from the center tanks. Means if you were fully loaded with Jet A you will still land with ~ 80K of gas. )

You can't transfer to the center tank and then dump that?

I bet the airlines just cringe when they have to dump gas!
