Scarbs published a very interesting article about F1 fuel cells today, but now it has disappeared. However, it can be found here, when it returns:

[offtopic mode on] Ben take a look (if you haven't already) into the system Lotus and other F1 teams used back in late 70's. One-way valves and baffles which exploit lateral and longitudinal g's to push fuel to the fuel pump; pretty impressive setup IMHO./[offtopic mode off]

The CFD simulation video of the tank blew my mind.
