Me and my brother are at a loss, we understand the basics of how the upside down thing works, but how does the engine get fuel when the tank is turned around, is it a vacoom and how would that work or is the intake from the tank in the back of the it, so the fuel is forced into the engine? Thanks.

Fuel tanks on the F-15 have flapper valves on their baffles. There is still a limitation on how long the aircraft can stay inverted before fuel starvation. I believe it’s 7-8 seconds at most. Reference T.O. 1F-15E-1.
Blue angles have modified fuel tanks to extend inverted flight.
