Ah, it seems we've swapped in opposite directions! I still miss my 990ADV but love the XT, so simple and honest!
AS for th 990's fuel economy...... (with 3 5 litre cans between 2 bikes - -7.5lt each - our range fully loaded on any terrain is about 600km!)
I had a think after I posted my reply and remember that a couple of Aussies we met who have just done Magadan (the hard way) on a couple of 950SE's and had the same issues as you. They did go for the Aqualine 30Lt tank but also had fuel bladders that they swore were pretty much bullet proof (and of course packed flat when not needed). They had a 8 litre one but i recall the manufacturers made larger variants. You seem to have read my mind but here's the link for that i think was the company anyway.
