If you pull the interior and use the seat tracks to fasten a tank down. Then you plumb into the fuel system where the transfer lines cross through the fuselage near the wing box. Its not a very difficult mod to do since the tank would most likely fit through the cargo door. Without removing the interior the available weight would give you around 1240 gallons of fuel. That is the 1000 lb cargo and 39 people in the cabin at std. winter pax weight.

They must have used the big rubber internal fuel tanks. There are a few photos and videos on the internet of AN-24s crossing the Altantic being ferried to Cuba. The An's had metal batten internal tanks. A while back I also saw an Air Tractor flying West Coast to Honolulu. Not sure if that was an aircraft type mistake but the speed seemed to indicate it really was an air tractor
