Default Dual tanks... ?

The problem will come during sustained nose-high attitude, once the engine has used some of the "local" fuel (which basically has slightly collapsed the tank) it is now pulling fuel from the local tank, which is pulling fuel from the aft tank. Of course, the TANK is not doing the pulling, the engine is.

I don't know if I got the point across, but trust me, it's a physics thing.
