No reason not to have a gravity-feed fuel tank in a ship. The engine's down low and the fuel goes in up high.
Of course on the real Bounty, they managed to keep the bilge pumped out with hand pumps. Like in Barret's Privaters:
"On the King's birthday we put to sea,
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
We were 91 days to Montego Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way"
