For a first solo you'd hope that any tank change would be done in the run-ups, though on the plot it doesn't look as though run-ups were done after instructor got out, which is odd. They should still consider their fuel state with every BUMFH check. If a tank change is necessary then do it, but yeah shouldn't be sending first solo with a tank running low.
With the Warriors there is a healthy click as the fuel selector goes into the right place, difficult to miss unless rushing it.
