Bell Boeing has developed 430-gallon Mission Auxiliary Tanks (MATs); up to three can be inserted in the V-22’s cargo bay.
So, unless some of the MV-22's own 5200 kg fuel system is connected to the AAR system, that'd be a massive 3900 kg offload available in the AAR role?

Some tanker capability......
