Typical Fast Jet Fuel system?

A quick question for some jet drivers - Considering the rapid roll rates, hard turns with rapid reversals, ultra high rate climbs and descents, inverted flight and the range of "g" onsets involved in flying modern fast jets, can anyone describe a typical fast jet fuel system for me. Is it similar to standard airline transport type fuel systems but with higher pressure pumps etc etc or is it a totally different system of plumbing, baffles and pumps etc.

Just curious how the wet stuff safely manages to get through to the engines under such a dynamic and violent environment.

cheers
Vic
