Default ? re fuel tank placement

Hi,
My question is: I believe I saw a plane not long ago in a magazine that was meant to fly off water, and the engine was mounted up above the fuselage, rather than in the nose. It seems there is so much concern over getting the fuel tank in line with the engine, how do they set it up in models like that? Even with a small 2oz tank in the engine housing, how is it set up to get enough pressure to force fuel to flow from a larger tank up to the engine?

Thanks for any thoughts....
