Starfighter, where's the fuel?

[mrloudly]

Was watching this video thinking where's the fuel? The old girl must sup a bit and there appears
precious little space to store it... Anyone know?

I'd guess in the fuselage, immediately behind the pilot.

You usually see them with wing tip tanks as well. Refuel points are just forward of the left hand intake.

Center/upper fuselage, from about the leading edge of the intake shock cones back to about the mid-point of the wing root.

Interesting link. Best part of a 1000 gallons internal fuel, wouldn't think that possible looking at it! Put another way, that's 22 45 gallon drums, quite a volume to swallow!
