Oh yea it had tanks.
Ten Aluminum 500 gallon tanks each plummed together by a four inch manifold with shutoff valves on each one and a very unique vent system. At least they were installed in the aircraft when I left that god for saken place last year.
5,000 gallons is all ...

So a total of 15,500 gallons fuel gives a range of 4000 miles, give or take. Won't get them to NYC, but it would get them to London.
Not saying that this is the case, mind you. Just a technical problem, really.
