There is no specific prohibition for location under 29.952, but all depends on the design. In the AW139 (much like the S-76) the fuel tanks are located aft of the passenger cabin to allow sufficient volume, and also provide easy installation of auxiliary tanks.

This same design is followed in the AW189, except that the 189 also has optional underfloor auxiliary tanks, or a belly tank.
