Narrative:
On approach; flaps system 1 and 2 faulted; causing flaps stuck at less than 15 degrees. Captain was pilot flying. First officer recycled slats/flap handle to 15/0; then back to 15/15; flaps still stuck. Leveled at 3;000 MSL and got delay vectors. Declared emergency completed QRH procedure and made uneventful landing. Safety was enhanced by extra fuel added by captain to original flap panel/right fuel.
