[Shotimes] fuel tank quantities

[Carl Prochilo]

I'm not a big fan of saving junk, but my wife happened to come across the
marketing brochure for the "FORD 1992 Taurus".  It says the SHO's fuel
capacity is 18.6 gallons.
I took time to scan the SHO pages and you can find them here for the sake of
nostalgia.
