Default Very minor issue with the Hurricane start up

As the title suggests this isn't a big issue but I thought I'd bring it up. In game the Hurricane Mk.I can be started when the fuel control cock is switched to the main tanks. In the Hurricane Mk.I pilot notes, it states that the Hurricane must be started on the reserve tank as the main tank can only deliver fuel after the engine has started. After starting the engine the pilot could then switch to the main tanks or wait until after take off (I believe an order may of been issued not to take off on the reserve tank at a later date).



In the ATA Handling Notes for the Hurricane Mk.I thru IV, it states a similar operation although interestingly enough in the Hurricane Mk.II pilot notes, it states you can start on main tanks. Here are the notes from the ATA;







At some time, the Merlin could be started via the main tank so my question is this, would the Merlin III be able to start on the main tank like the Merlin XX or would it of had the same system as the Merlin II?
