lmp, on the ground the area of the upper surface of a fuel tank in contact with fuel will depend on fuel volume and tank geometry.

The upper surface of a wing fuel tank in most wing profiles is normally lower towards the rear. At a threshold fuel volume, the upper tank surface will be in contact with the fuel. As fuel quantity increases the upper surface contact point will move forward.
