Narrative:
We had flown one leg with MEL for a fuel quantity indictor (reported inoperative previous day at top of descent, then operations normal). On the ground at anchorage, we were asked if the maintenance special procedure had been complied with. Our maintenance personnel at anchorage removed the panel for the fuel summation unit and advised us that it had not been disconnected per the special procedure. They then complied with the procedure. I suspect the summation unit was not disconnected at ZZZ because the system was working normally.
