Just a little suggestion, in real life (although you can do it in game) the Hurricane Mk.I could not start it's engine on the main fuel tank. It had to be switched to the reserve (or gravity) tank as the fuel pumps did not run until the engine had started.

It's not a widely known fact granted. A lot of trainee pilots would forget to switch back to the main tanks after take off and end up running out of fuel rather quickly, this was known as a "gravity charlie". In the Hurricane Mk.II this was rectified and you could start the engine on main tanks. I think what has happened, the dev team has got hold of the Hurricane Mk.II pilot notes and thought this was how it was for the Mk.I. The Mk.I notes are rarer than hens teeth!

I uploaded the last videos of this thread since we now have finished for the Hawker Hurricane.

Those videos deal with universal things and other threads will be opened with new chapters including dogfight and other aircrafts too.

Thanks for your comments & See you mid-air.
