Thanks

And here I was, content with the concept of it being made of spaghetti.....

Thanks guys. It amazes me that that fuel, being as heavy as it is can still get through to the engines at exactly the rate with the huge changes in fuel flow from throttle slams and clicking in and out of burner the turning and rolling. Fadec probably helps at the terminal end of the fuel's journey too. It must work just fine, mid dogfight would not be the time to have to remember to turn on the fuel pump, switch over tanks with some lever on the floor, count to five and turn the pump back off.

Thanks for the replies.

cheers
Vic.
