Default measuring arm distances

When measuring arm distances, what is the measuring point? ie is the arm to
my nose tank the closest distance from the datum to the tank, or is it to
the centre of the tank?

To the center of gravity of the item in question.

An odd shaped fuel tank might be a challenge.

For seated people, I use the belly button.
