Default Fuel Tanks Different?

hey i just bought a fuel tank for my s70 GLT. From the last time i took it down, the one i received looks slightly different. I dont want to take it down if its not the same, esp. in capacity, leaving me without a car til another arrives.

Differences:
-appears smaller
-tubes molded to top of tank are not only diff. color but longer

what i want to know is, is there any differences betw. the s70, s70 GLT, and s70 T5 in tank capacity and etc.?

please help

I know there's a 18.5 gallon tank and a ~20 gallon tank on various volvo models. If I remember correctly, the larger tank goes with the AWD (v70 only). There might be a difference with the T5 v. all other models, but I doubt it... I'd say call up a volvo mechanic; smaller the shop the better

I think... not sure, however... that the '99 and newer cars have a slightly larger tank.
