GQ SWB Sub tank mounting points

Post by EricB »

Need help with sub tank mounting points please.

My Mechanic has put this in and it is not hanging right.

When I slide my hand over the tank i can feel a step on the tank and I think its hitting the body. If it would be back 5-10mm it might sit up higher.
I hope!!

Does anyone have a pic of their sub tank on a SWB GQ?

I just want an idea of how it should be sitting. Mine at the moment is just asking for a rock to rip it off.

cheers
Eric

Geez that hangs low.

If that's standard I'll be getting a custom one if I go dual fuel cos that's appalingly low.

Let's hope he's just fitted it wrong.

I know, at best i think i might get the front closer to the same level as at the rear of the tank.

It should be level with the bottom of the chassis. There is an L bracket that uses the 2 holes in the chassis near the transfer case. One bolt goes on an angle at the rear near the bump stop area. And the other is a large piece of flat secton that mounts to the top of the crossmember.

I think i got a strange tank. Its different to all the ones I saw at vic winch.

At best i might get it 1.5 - 2" below the chassis.

Maybe I found the 1st one ever built for a GQ SWB :roll:

I know, The Gas is all running now and we are off to NSW for a few weeks. When I get back I hope to get it swapped over or i will take it off and get it modified.

I think it was one of the 1st tanks ever made :roll:

Others i have seen are a lot neeter and only hang about 1-1.5 inch from the chassis.

I may as well hit it with a sledge hammer now and get it over and done with :lol:

I was wanting to go to Rover Park while in NSW but not sure if its worth it now with that tank hanging down like dogs balls.
