The oil tank is in front of the fuel tank. (We used to put 5 gallons in so we could check it, then add more as needed. :) ) I think it held about 26 or so gallons of oil & I'm thinking 230 of gas. The other could be the hydraulic fluid. I'll have to dig out my manuals. The only fuel tank the Corsairs, other than the XF, was in the fuselage or drop tanks. BTW, just because a tank is a bladder doesn't mean it's self-sealing. Regarding the fabric outer wings, I always wondered about that too, but they did metalize them on the -5 & a few restored early ones on the airshow circuit now have metalized wings. IIRC, the controls remained fabric, even on the -5.
