In one example of the present disclosure, a fuel system for an aircraft, with the fuel system being made by an additive manufacturing process, is provided. The fuel system can include a fuel tank having a body defining an inner chamber configured to store fuel. The fuel system can also include a conduit formed monolithically with the body during the additive manufacturing process. The conduit can extend within the inner chamber and define a channel that is not in fluid communication with the inner chamber.
