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.

IIRC, the F-16 has an additional boost pump on top of the fuselage fuel tank. All other tanks feed that one, so it should be full unless you’re low on fuel. The limiting factor on the Viper is the oil pump.
The F-15 has baffles to keep some fuel at the sump, but can’t stay negative g for more than a few seconds.
