Gas tank weight

Does anyone know how much the s5 gas tank weighs? How does it compare to say a 10 gal fuel cell?

The stock gas tanks are actually pretty light (fine gauge steel). My 10gal fuel cell is almost the same weight. The weight savings are going to come from having less fuel.

What would be the point of a fuel cell then? Couldn't you just run 10 gallons in the tank and call it good?
