A fuel de-oxygenation system includes a boost pump and an oxygen collector. The oxygen collector includes an input port fluidly connected to an output of the boost pump, an output port in fluid communication with the input port, and one or more hollow fiber tubes disposed within the oxygen collector, the hollow fiber tubes having an oxygen permeable membrane disposed thereon. The system further includes a vacuum source in fluid communication with the one or more hollow fiber tubes that causes the formation of at least a partial vacuum within the one or more hollow fiber tubes.
