LouW,


I think your right. But, I am still thinking hard about it. Because if the tank is pressurized, due to the laws of physics, the fluid will be moving the same speed as the plane and I think it may be possible for the fuel to be at the front of the tank. Kinda like the old question, why don't you smack into the back of a commercial plane if you jump in the air. I think its called the law or relativity. Its been a while since physics, I dont remember the names of the laws, but remember the principles.

I think the plane will be accelerating the fuel at the same rate as the plane because it is pressurized. So, you very well may be right, but I'm not conviced that the fuel stays at the back.

I guess all this is just food for thought, but the important thing is that according to you experienced pilots, then engine is unlikely to die.

Thanks guys,


Wings
