[3e Vehicles]A Few Questions

Instead of allocating space for fuel tanks and then applying streamlining is it acceptable to use the extra volume you design allocates to streamlining to fuel tanks? I think aircraft do this.

If the above is possible, other then other forms of liquid storage what can be put in this extra space?

How do I calculate Delta V for vehicles capable of space flight?

Whats different about a robotic structure compared to a normal vehicle? It has a higher cost for extra data runs, but why does a robot need these compared to, say, a high performance jet or something?
