I was talking to a Cirrus owner this weekend, he told me that the fuel tanks in his Cirrus are 'not protected' meaning the fuel was in his wings without a real tank.

Is this correct ? I mean they must at least put it in some sort of a bag ? Or do they have a metal fuel tank like most GA planes have ?

If they don't have any protection, isn't this a very dangerous situation in case something happens with the wing, the fuel get's loose directly ?
