They should include facilities for collection, preparation, and distribution of fuel to users.
Fuel System - Pressure and Lines Fuel Pressure and Volume As a general rule, you can calculate how much fuel your engine requires. Beginning early in the conceptual design phase of any powered aircraft, the fuel system is a major consideration. The intended mission of the aircraft dictates the amount of fuel that must be carried by the aircraft and supported by the structure. Alternative fuels (as required) should be made available at all consuming points. The commonly used ones are liquid fuel and gas fuel. At wide open throttle a naturally aspirated engine will require about.5lbs of fuel per horsepower every hour.
