In case you were wondering, here's a light-weight fuel cell made from aluminum. It holds 20 gallons of fuel and weighs about 22lbs according to the description.

This is just some random fuel cell I found on Amazon. There are probably even lighter options out there. Racers are always looking to shed weight.

There are also lots of examples where the frame of a vehicle can perform double-duty and hold fuel as well. I don't think that any regular production car will ever do this as it's probably not safe, but the idea isn't a new concept. Here's just an example:
