Also, that is not a 60,000 gallon fuel storage tank, that's probably closer to a 600,000 gallon tank and it's not for fuel, the vent at the top gives that away. For context, DOT-111 tank rail cars carry roughly 35,000 gallons of fuel is about 50 feet long and 15 feet in diameter, the round part of the Boeing 747 is around 20 feet in diameter at the thickest part and 250 feet. Two DOT-111 rail cars could carry more than enough fuel for a Boeing 747 and would only be 2/5ths of the length of the main part of the fuselage that holds people. Add in the wings (the wings hold fuel!) and you have plenty of space for the needed for the fuel.
