Gas sub tank in GQ
Gas sub tank in GQ
This week I installed a second gas tank in my GQ. Its a very tight fit and I havent installed the stone shield yet. It will give me another 49l of gas. I have got the tanks set up so I can switch between them. I also have two filler nozzles and two fuel guages.
I guess this same setup could be used for diesel gas too. You could leave the existing fuel tank and this tank.
The tank is a APA B80.

Not sure what you mean NutterGQ? I dont think any of it is too low for what I need. I could possibly get hung up on the tank on ramp over. I only use the GQ on weekends to go bush its not me daily driver. I needed a 4WD that was more capable than my previous trashcan... I mean Terracan. Something that can tow my camper trailer and get me off the black stuff. I dont see that I will do any rock hopping. The tank should give me a range of about 600 - 650km thats all I wanted.

The top of the valve housing is meant to be horizontal, this ensured that the gauge works correctly, if will fill full because of the pressure cut off, not sure if it will completly empty dew to the pickup inside.
See how it goes.
Also what length is the tank and how did you go with mounts, to the floor or chassie.

I had to strip the whole interior from the front seats back. The mounts went in fine. Both mounts go to the floor not the chassis. The rear mount is spaced out with a piece of 40x70 box section as the floor dips up to the 7th seat. I also had to buy longer bolts to suit. Its a very tight fit between the 5 link suspension holder and the chassis brace bar.
TNA racing - how do you have a smaller tank that holds 47 litres? My tank is 61 litres water minus 20% which is 49 litres.
AndrewGQ 351 - I will rotate the tank a little more to get it horizontal. There is enough room to do it. The valve housing is not hitting anything.

look at the angle your box is on, i would have it facing up.create wrote:I had to strip the whole interior from the front seats back. The mounts went in fine.

You need to set your valves at 30 degrees..if you do not the AFL will limit your fill.tna racing wrote:look at the angle your box is on, i would have it facing upcreate wrote:I had to strip the whole interior from the front seats back.

I have added a set of whats known as scuba tanks onto the floor in mine,
they are the tripple tank that i think that they fit into station wagons.
They are a 69 water ltr and i can get 55-58l per fill.
The tank is only 220mm high and about 900 by 1000.
This still allows for a full length draw on one side and water container locations on each. the top of the floor is then level with the top of the wheel arches
I run two fillers so i can fill up both tanks at once and a single gas line out of a check valve which has the two tank lines going in.
Two gauges and switches to shut each of the tanks off at the tank solinoid, allowed me to get an extra 220-240 km per fill up

yep, manchester or apa manifold tanks are perfect for putting under a false floor. (they are the ones you are talking about, the "scuba" tanks)
as for the tank above, the main issue you will have is being able to get to the valve box. normally the firies need clear access to the service valve to turn the tank off if they need to. i dare say (depending on where you are) it may be defectable having the valve where is currently is...

they work even better of you have a bodylift and you can sink the tanks into the floorbodes-sh wrote:yep, manchester or apa manifold tanks are perfect for putting under a false floor. (they are the ones you are talking about, the "scuba" tanks)
