Fuel Suction Feed question???

Hi,

-In the event of all AC power loss, it is possible to restart engines after flame-out. What is the maximum suction feed ceiling (mostly for airliners)?

-Can airplane flying in adverse conditions be affected by engine(s) operating for an extended period of time on suction feed?

-I found this statement: apparently "new" fuel contains a good deal of entrained air that makes suction feed less reliable (this is called "fuel weathering"). Is this true?

Feedback appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards
