2 x Fuel Tanks

Here's an EDShipyard link to an Anaconda fitted with nothing but fuel tanks, advanced discovery scanner, and a 6A fuel scoop. The jump range is actually a surprisingly high 22 ly, and time to fill the 432T tanks a surprisingly low 8 minutes. You could swap one of the size 6 tanks for a 6A shield generator, which is lighter than a full size 6 fuel tank, and add some weapons without decreasing the jump range.

I feel a surprising amount of glee at seeing this.
 
On my explorer asp I got rid of 2, 8 tons cargo racks and replaced them with 2, 8 tons fuel tanks. They stack on each other and to the original 32 tons tank. So in total I have 48 ton fuel capacity.
Its 50% more than original. And 3 fuel tanks equipped. When fuel scooping they act as one.
 
Just remember to fill them before you leave the station where you outfitted (unless you're scooping). Else you'll do what I did in my Python.. dur de dur.. jump.. hey what the heck! My fuel is almost gone! Nope, just a larger capacity, mostly empty. Scared me a bit.
 
So, in theory, I could drop all the cargo slots from my Anaconda, take fuel tanks, and all of them would add up to give me an absurd amount of fuel?

Just for laughs - if you did fit your Anaconda with fuel tanks you could carry 432 ton and if you fit a 2A fuel scoop it will only take 90 minutes to refill.
