So I was dusting off the P-40 after the 1.4 update and as I was warming her up I bumped the gear switch. Plane sank down, prop struck and busted the crank/mains... After fixing those issues in the hangar and trying to restart there was no joy on the primer. Wondering what was going on I checked the load out page and the reserve tank was suddenly dry despite all tanks being full prior to the first start...

Some may call this realistic, and I'm not sure it is a bug or designed intentionally. It's common that during maintenance to drain the fuel inside an aircraft. Just be sure to fill your tanks after maintenance.

I suppose that's fair. It just seemed weird that just the one tank got emptied...

In real life, I emptied #4 tank on a C-130A in the phase hanger. The crew chief failed to close the fuel shut off valves prior. I popped the cap on the low pressure strainer #4 engine and to my suprise a unending stream of fuel 5 inches in diameter. There is no way I could put the cap back on, it was like that monkey joke. The battery was also disconnected and removed from the aircraft preventing closing the valves. What a mess and loss of JP4.

Maybe A2A put you in my hanger...
