Hilux Custom Fuel Tank or Fuel Tank Relocation

Post by Grublux »

I'm running an 80 series rear diff in my '92 Dual Cab Hilux with an A frame and coils. The current custom fuel tank sits on an angle to one side to suit the A frame but the end with the pickup sits low and is vunerable.

I am looking at building a custom tray in the near future and just want peoples input or photo's on what they have done or seen done with fuel tanks on a Hilux, either custom or standard ones mounted in a different positon.

Cheers

Not even really close to going yet. Everytime I go to do something, something else pops up that I decide I'll do as well. Plus our first kid is due in 3 weeks and I've statred working away during the week.

Everybody knows short term projects always turn into long term.

Will post some pics in the members next weekend.

Anyone with any ideas on the Hilux fuel tank?

If I get around to putting a 4 link in mine, I'm just going to turn the standard tank so it sit's accross the back of the truck. I like to run the standard fuel pump as I've had no worries with fuel pickup so far.

Pics would be great though.

Some use the GQ rear tank, it goes in where the spare wheel used to go. Hyo had one in his hilux. But I don`t know how many liters they are. Personaly I`d say you`d want a min of a 70 litre tank.
