Except for P-51s, which have almost all of their fuel load behind the CG. There are no fuel tanks at or in front of the CG unless they carry external tanks, which are placed centered on the CG. After I test flew my first TF GS D model, I moved the fuel tank back to within 1 inch of the CG to stop the constant nose-over broken-prop expense. After 7 TF Mustangs and 2 H 9 Mustangs I still operate them with the fuel load on the CG. They are much easier to operate and cheaper without all of the broken props.
