I think it is of greater importance to have the fuel flowing from ALL the fuel tanks feeding ALL the engines. That way, there are no engine flame outs. Once a fuel tank is empty, you can turn the Fuel Pump for that tank OFF.

The best way to find out in which order the fuel tanks are used, is to put a small amount of fuel (~100 lbs) in each tank and see which ones empty first.

So, it sounds as if the simulation is not sensitive to center-of-gravity issues...? If I had done something like this in the real world, it wouldn't have been long before I lost control of the aircraft.
