Piper 28 vs Cessna 172 (Fuel How does the fuel pump question)work in a PA-28 and when should I use it?

Just started flying again after 14 years and I'm taking this to the finish line this time. All my time, up till 10 am today, is in a C172. I did fly a PA 28-151 today and liked it.

I do have some questions about Pipers (specifically PA 28-181 and 28-151):

  • Does the fuel pump has to be on the entire flight?
  • Is there a fuel pump for each tank?
  • If the pump doesn't have to be on the entire flight, how does the engine/carburetor get fuel considering the engine is higher than the wings?

Thank you for your input in advance!!
