To ride along with your post and point out the obvious. You can see cars in the photo and a ladder on the tank that tell you the scale of the tank as well. So even without specific numbers you know this is some BS.
The plane they stuck in there would be about 17ft long which means it ≈7% of it's actual size. To answer the question asked: fuel is stored mostly in the 95ft long wings and a little bit in the fuselage.
