It depends. Not all tankers install the plumbing to allow the fuel carried as cargo to flow into the airplane's own tanks. It's possible that the plane may have been converted to carry fuel, but that doesn't mean that the plane can use any of it.

Thanks for the clarification. I imagine it would be a little more complex than getting the siphon hose outta the trunk, wouldn't it...???
