Marine fuel system considerations
Fuel inlet :
Fuel inlet need to be located on the exterior surface of your craft in a manner that no spilled fuel can find it's way into the bilge of the craft.
Fuel System
Most modern aircraft are equipped with 2 or more fuel tanks (or cells). In high wing aircraft, the cells are housed in the wings. Since they are higher than the engine, the fuel flows down to the engine by the force of gravity. ...
Aircraft Fuel Systems Knowledge
There is a difference between fuel exhaustion and starvation: exhaustion means no more fuel onboard the aircraft and starvation means fuel onboard but not reaching the engine for some reason.
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system of Piper PA-18-150 includes two 18 Gallon tanks.
The fuel system was prone to leaks and icing, and bombing and fire control computers were unreliable.
This is really important in the fuel system descriptions. It's not unusual to find that an airplane has been modified since the POH came out and the valving is different. Ditto the propeller.
Pilot drain a sample of fuel from each fuel tank and the aircraft's fuel system before every flight, to verify the type of fuel being used and look for water or other contamination.
The inverted oil and fuel systems also allow limited outside maneuvers.
Proceed with your pre-flight - fuel check, drain fuel system for condensation, water. Then, start the engine, warm it up and taxi to the take off end, check ignition and carburetor heat. Set the altimeter and trim at mid travel.
in conjunction with the American Petroleum Institute, conducted an airport hydrant fuel system leak-detection technologies in the airport environment; ...

Method (a) will fool you if there is a leak or other problem in the fuel system, and method (b) will fool you if the gauge is stuck, but the chance of both problems happening at the same time is remote.
When calibrating the stick, you need to allow enough time for the fuel to equalize in the two tanks before marking the stick. Be careful when sticking the tank not to damage the fuel system or gage senders.
those leading to the oil pressure gauge, should be absolutely tight, and all piping that conveys oil must also be examined to see that the joints are securely fastened and that there is no opportunity for loss of lubricant. The fuel system demands a ...
