I believe that would leave you with max 24,480 cubic inches of storage.
While this is still assuming that they entire robot is just fuel, there is nothing in the rules that says that you have to remain inside the frame perimeter, so theoretically you could have a robot that extends completely to the maximum dimensions by hanging over the bumpers. Note: you do have to start inside the frame perimeter, but do not have to stay within it.
