It's not a widely known fact granted. A lot of trainee pilots would forget to switch back to the main tanks after take off and end up running out of fuel rather quickly, this was known as a "gravity charlie". In the Hurricane Mk.II this was rectified and you could start the engine on main tanks. I think what has happened, the dev team has got hold of the Hurricane Mk.II pilot notes and thought this was how it was for the Mk.I. The Mk.I notes are rarer than hens teeth!
