To be clear, the numbers I posted above are the max fuel weights allowed per the AFM - turns out that's based on a density of .885 which is exceptionally high for jet fuel (but not out of line for gasoline).
Obviously with a more typical .78-.80 density the volume (53,600 gallons, plus another 3,300 gallons for stab fuel) will limit the mass of fuel carried.
