Once you place down a quality storage tank, the capacity will be adjusted. The quality tooltips are hardcoded and can't be modified by mods - I could in principle add all the quality values to the item(/normal entity) description, but having 5 (or, with quality-adding mods, substantially more) additional lines in every item tooltip would get annoying very quickly...
edit: The reason eg. fluid wagons show the quality tooltip is that there is a corresponding feature in the engine (quality_affects_capacity in the FluidWagon prototype), while for eg. storage tanks, no such feature exists.
