but I would think that the fuel would collect at the front of the tank if your dive acceleration is less than 32 ft/second squared (gravity) due to throttle setting and airframe drag.
In this case, it wouldn't be a dive. If you shut off the engine and point the nose of the plane straight down, then it would fall at 1g and airframe drag would be negligible.
