Why is fuel stored in the wings of aircraft?

ANSWER:- Fuel is in the wings because it's practical, otherwise cargo and passenger space would be taken up if in the fuselage, but more importantly, the weight of fuel at 7 pounds per gallon has to be stored in a place to keep the aircraft center of gravity centered and balanced as the fuel is burned off. Placing fuel either ahead or behind the center of gravity would be not a safe idea.
