Default Draining fuel tank

Well, my plane flew it's first flight today. I didn't fly it, but the person training me did to check it out and trim it.
I have a question though regarding draining the tank. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to drain fully using an electric pump. Is this normal? Will a pump always leave some fuel in the tank or is there a problem somewhere?

The plane flew great while in the air.
