Planetary Vehicle Hangar 6G - It is bigger on the inside

Or SRVs are stored without fuel and part of the deployment procedure is load them up from a separate supply of weightless sulphur and phosphorus. Remember you can carry 500 tons of SRV fuel in your magic pocket.

Of course we have to remember that there need not be a correlation between what a volume of ship-internal space can hold as 'cargo', and what it can hold as anything else. With cargo canisters all being the same size, I'd guess that one containing a tonne of gold would be practically empty, volume-wise, whilst one containing something considerably less dense would be filled to the 'brim'. On which basis it's probably fair to say a standard canister is built to be big enough to hold the least dense commodity. Which means the volume of a cargo-hold of (say) 4 tonnes is likely to be way bigger than an SRV hanger of (say) 18 tonnes.

Or not

If you have more than one, you can select which one you deploy - the fuel isn't shared between them.

The missing bits get 3D printed when you deploy it.
