Hey Henrik-I'll use an old model that I have of a Sd.Kfz 11 (AFV Club) to demonstate and answer.
The Sd.Kfz. 251 and Sd.Kfz. 11 had basically the same chassis...
you can see the gas tank the flat rectangular thing in the back of the frame here.

the floor of the cab had access plates to allow one to fill the gas can with Kraftstoff. (with a jerry can and funnel?)
