120ltr ?? Sounds more like an LPG tank. all of the main tank Long range's are 146 or bigger.

GQ/GU at ARB and TJM share the same part #s..

makes no difference. The tanks are the same. If anything just poor a litre of your chosen fuel in it. Splash it around and then drain it. If empty already. There want be enough left to give either fuel system an issue. As your mixing the dregs with 100+lts of fuel.
And as bogged said. Generally they are around the 147-160lt mark for aftermarket tanks that replace the std rear tank. There are some custom ones that have slightly less i.e mine was setup for a 2"BL and I had the tank lifted. In doing that they must mod the tank slightly as it only ever had a usuable 130ish litres.
