Your source only gives total fuel, not fuel distribution.

Other sources show over half the fuel being in fuselage tanks.

Where exactly are the fuselage tanks? That would be a 25,000 gallon fuselage tank, weighing 17,000 pounds or about 8 and half tons. The entire wing would necessarily be a fuel tank, because of the size of over four metric tons of jet fuel in each wing. So where exactly are the wing tanks? And why didn’t they ignite or leak in this last accident?

Trying to dispute the now growing popularity of the compressed air combine engine theory.
