Oil tankers doubt!

HI everyone!
While sinkig a improved T2, i've received this idea:
if a tanker is trasporting gasoline, oil ecc, why her "fuel reserve" on her image in recognition manual is so small? Shouldn't be great like half ship? :hmm:

1) Cargo is not fuel reserve
2) Tanker fuel and tanker cargo fuel may not be the same
3) Might be tricky to run a pipe from cargo to fuel tank safely

i think he means:
fuel bunker contains fuel.
if the fuel bunker is hit the ship will explode.
the cargo bunker contains fuel.
therefore... if the cargo bunker is ****, the ship should go KABOOOOOOM!
also, the fuel (cargo) bunkers, altho not connected to the fuel(standard) bunkers... are still "fuel bunkers"... (i didn't loose any of you in the explanation, did i

)

Unless it's traveling in ballast, meaning there is only warter in the tanks. thant means no boom and more torpedos needed to sink her.
