Explain this a little more

"By the way, the 15-gallon tank is actually a 20-gallon tank, with a longer
vent tube that prevents complete fill up. It is easily removed"

Isn't the 15 gallon tank narrower than the 20? Seems like when you look at
the rear of the jeep you can see that the 15 gallon tank has a few inches of
extra room on the sides than the 20. Am I missing something here?
