600 liters in three fuel cells located in the fighting compartment. Two are on the right side. The one on the left is centered directly behind the third road wheel.

I believe they are on hull roof, just behind turret ring on right and left side. You can see one just in front of intake mesh here:

The other one is in that triangle shaped bit of armour on right hand side, see pics here:

Have a look at various walkarounds here:
