re: Saturn 5

There are a lot of tricks for dealing with propellants in microgravity. An ullage burn, like you pointed out in the Saturn, is just one of them. Small propellant tanks, like those used in satellites and probes, have bladders, capillary-effect devices, and other gimmicks. As with the Saturn, once you get even the slightest acceleration, the fluids settle into place.
