All wings need fuel capacity

[Exorcet]

The procedural wings are a nice change from KSP1, however none of them hold fuel. This is problematic because of the necessary balancing required for flight, and it's opposed to reality where the wings often serve as fuel tanks. Wing area and thickness should be considered in fuel capacity.

The fuel could also be used for cooling if we had fuel pump parts that would pump cold fuel to hot areas of the aircraft before sending it to the engines.

I would bet that the devs have intended on doing this from the start.

this should definitely be a ting. 
but it should be a toggleable option in the VAB, and it should add weight.
the weight should be proportional to the surface area of the shell of the tanks.
the upper limit on the amount of fuel stored should be based on the volume of the wing.

I agree.

[dr.phees]

Yep, absolutely. Weird it wasn't put in right away, right?

or  they can just add separate square tanks you can clip in the wings  .that's what i do with small cylinder tanks in wings

+ this. Would be great to have fuel in wings. It would save on parts.

yeah, this would be really great
