I know for many smaller aircraft, this problem is avoided by having the fuel feeders be on flex hose, with a little pendular mass. normally, they hang about 1" off the tank bottom, but during severe manuevers they roll with the fluid body. now granted this may be a little tougher with cryogenics, but i am sure some sort of engineered flex could be bobbed in there. pat
