That's right, 1 in each wing and the gravity tank in front of the pilot.
I'm reading a book about the Hurricane at the moment, 1 of pilots said that he reckoned most of the cockpit fires were caused by the wing tanks as opposed to the widely held belief that is was the gravity tank which caused cockpit fires.
I'll dig out the quote later.
