THIS MOD IS NOT NEEDED ANY MORE.
I have checked the most recent model of the F-18, as of Apr. 1, 2022 and there is no apparent need for this mod, but I will leave this here for otheres to look at what I had done to fix fuel flow
Use at your own discretion.
This is a modification of the F18 flight_model.cfg.
Just unzip and place mod directory into your community folder.
This is my first attempt at correcting the fuel flow with the FA18E in MSFS 2020. WIth the current config files, the wing tanks feed only at 100 GPH with gravity feed, and Tank 4 only feeds tank 3, so you end up running feed tank 2 dry and engine 1 stops at around 5000 lbs of fuel indicated.
I have added fuel pumps to the config so now you have positive feed to tank 4 from the wing tanks, and you have tank 4 feeding tank 2 and 3 as per the manual. I have flown both unmodded and modded flights and you can fly past bingo fuel and not loose your number 1 engine.
Update 1.1
Set the files up so that you can just add it to the community folder now.
Please let me know if there are any issues.
Ok, I gave a try to your mod but to me there is not much difference with the default plane or I don't understand this mod. I loose my engine one above 4000 lbs remaining as soon as tank 2 get empty. Does L WG and R WG are suppose to feed the engines ? Could you explain to me how the use of BINGO and how to set it please.

As of now, I don't see a need for the mod. This was a fix for the initial release of the F18 that had improper fuel rates. Just leaving this here for now so others can see how I did some of the fuel flow,

It's about time a intelligent guy correct this problem. Thank you so much sir for this, I'm using a lot the F18 but this fuel system was just too annoying.

Try to change the name to F/A-18 so whoever search for the plane on the search bar is going to see it.

Thank you for the tip, I also added that as a search parameter.

I'm fully aware that the default F/A-18E isn't supposed to have weaponry, but is it possible to create a mod where external drop tanks can be added to external stations? Or do an F/A-18C with a functional cockpit?

I haven't looked yet but I want to have a look through to see if I could add external tanks as well. Not sure if it's been implemented in the model yet.
