Is my fuel considered payload? How about me if I'm the driver? And what about the thanks giving dinner that I'm going to eat? If I'm not considered part of the payload then I have to wonder how the manufacturer knows how fat I am? I'm going to guess that the manufacturer is including a full tank of fuel and a small, maybe 150 lb driver as part of the kerb weight when they calculate the rated payload.
A fuel tank of fuel is not considered part of the payload, that is part of the vehicle weight.
Driver is not considered part of the payload, but there is a weight associated with that, probably something like 158 pounds (it makes more sense in metric, and comes from the airline industry). Any excess driver weight is payload.
