How many internal fuselage fuel tanks are there?

• A. Two internal fuselage tanks
• B. Four internal fuselage tanks
• C. Six internal fuselage tanks
• D. Three internal fuselage tanks

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how many tanks are built into the fuselage itself to store fuel. In the Growler, there are four internal fuel tanks housed within the fuselage, spread between the forward and aft sections. This four-tank arrangement gives substantial internal capacity without relying on external drop tanks, which are separate and not counted as internal fuselage tanks.

Two internal tanks would leave insufficient internal capacity for many longer missions. Six would imply extra tanks beyond the standard fuselage setup or mixing in non-fuselage tanks, which isn’t the standard internal configuration. Three isn’t a typical, symmetrical layout for this aircraft’s fuselage fuel system.
