Does anyone have or know where to find any diagram or schematics showing our Mosquito's fuel tanks' relative positions in the airplane?

I'm looking to see which tank(s) are most forward, and which aft.

The Mossie had 8 fuel tanks. In each wing, there was 2 inboard of the engine nacelle and 2 outboard of the engine nacelle and between the 2 spars. The red lines show the position of the paired tanks.

And another, #61, #66, and #155 (not show the inboard port tanks)

That's perfect.. where does the AUX tank sit?

The aux tank would be in the bomb bay.
