Fuel System Design Question.

What prevents the CWT pumps from restarting due to aircraft attitude change once they have initially shut down due to the 900kg limit being reached. Presumably the answer is nothing.

Thanks for your reply Swedish Steve which of course totally destroys my argument.
However, elsewhere I have read that the CWT pumps are controlled automatically by a "float" valve. Maybe the float just initiates the warning.
Not wishing to doubt your input (I'm sure you are more informed than I) BUT...are you sure!
Why wouldn't such an operation occur automatically even if some form of optional manual override exists for emergency management.
Hmm!!
