Default RE: Proper Mounting of a Fuel Tank

Does the engine continue to run if you tilt the outboard wing down? The end of the fuel line inside the tank is at the "fat" end of the tank; halfway down from the top.(Assuming it's a wedge tank). When the plane is flying, fuel is forced to the ouside of the tank. With the plane at rest, the tank will only suppy 1/2 the volume to the engine.
