The 20 gallon and 13.5 gallon tanks have the exact same outside dimensions so you can't even tell them apart from the outside. Also that skidplate should work because of this. I swapped my 13.5 on my 85xj to a 20(which was actually cheaper than the small one) with no problems at all, just I had no skidplate. The difference in the volume of the tanks comes from where the inlet tube is positioned. The 13.5 tube does deeper into the tank and when the fuel covers the end it backs up and causes the gas pump to click off, pretty sure that is the only difference between the two. There have been other threads on here about this.
