Okay, on the Airbus, there is no center tank, and it holds 250 metric tons of fuel.

Where is this center tank that holds about 30 metric tons of fuel, if each wing only holds 4 metric tons?

Also, where are the exhaust “pipes” on these engines? I’d like to dispel the chemtrailists.

See diagrams at the link.

Almost all pure jets use a straight through system. Look at where the air comes in, walk around it, and you’ll see where the air comes out.

There are some turboprops where the exhaust isn’t in-line usually angled out toward the side or downward

For a good view of where the exhaust comes out, see about the 2:25 point on this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S88FsFE5EE

There are no exhaust pipes on aircraft combustion turbines. All the “exhaust” is expelled out of the back to create thrust.
