[Shotimes] Fuel tank size

I just got done with dropping the gas tank on the '95MTX.

The connection from the fuel pump to the line had somehow come loose.
Likely I didn't get the clip in correctly when I did the fuel pump
replacement last June.

When it finally started to leak, it leaked a lot!  About 10 gallons in 10
miles.

Got the remaining gas which filled a 6 gal. can with a little left over into
another can.  Got everything back together and was only able to get another
11 gallons of gas into this SHO.

I thought that I had a 18+ gallon tank, yet I was able only to barely get 17
gallons back into it.  The pump nozzel clicked off many times, a few cents
at a time, and I think that it was as full as this tank was going to get.

What gives?  Is there another size between the SLO 16 gal. and the SHO 18.?
