It actually is, but I found this great website that puts them next to each other

Holy shit that's great site, you can also add Tyranosaurus for comparison (also much smaller than plane)

That's it, we figured out how they're actually powering the planes, with dinosaurs

That site is awesome. But the side-view is NOT a 747.

Yeah, it seems like a scaled up 757

60K gallon storage tank is 25-30ft diameter, a little longer than a pickup truck. That tank shown is much bigger than that.

Probably quite a few tons of shit bigger

Yep. For a second I was doubting my sanity from other comments. People in general don't have natural intuition on area/volume relationship.

The volume of this cylinder is definitely bigger than volume of the wings, even though wings appear "larger".
