Aerospace fusion engines are totally different to those on battlemechs or ground vehicles. They spend fuel to produce thrust, and in atmosphere they require thrust to stay airborne (if they aren't spending thrust, they lose altitude until they lawndart).

I'm looking through Total Warfare and still can't find fuel consumption rules. Can you help me out?

It's not tracked in Total Warfare, but the rules are in TechManual (p.186) and Tactical Operations. Older versions of the rules tracked fuel capacity during all types of combat.

I imagine balancing infantry in this game would be a chore.

I proposed using them like a arty/air strike. The get dropped in a area from a aerospace whatever and do a kind of Dot damage in till they are hit by direct fire from X weapons.

Easier thing to check is TRO listings of aerospace fighters which show total fuel tonnage (and how many thrust points that gave you per match). TRO 3025 shows that the Corsair has 5 tons of fuel, same as the Wusun in TRO 3085 (though thrust points must have changed, since it shows 75 for the old Corsair listing but 400 for the Wusun).
