Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im looking at ditching my main tank on my GU Coil Cab. Is it possible to use the sub tank as the main. Is it just as simple as rewiring the pump and re-routing the fuel lines ?

Is there a particular reason why you want to ditch the main tank. Having to refuel every 280 km's is going to be a pita. But yes it is very possible to just use the sub tank only.

Im going to shorten the chassis and use the sub tank for the time being until I have time to build a larger tank for it. How many litres does the sub tank hold ?

If it has the large sub its around 90/95 litres!! so the same as the main

standard main 95
standard sub 35 from memory

Thats for a wagon a ute is differnt,

I believe they are 95 again... or slightly lower

It certinly looks as big as if not bigger than the main

sub tank on the utes are 80 litre

you will have to pipe the fuel return hose back into the fast fill line, and change the main fuel hose over to the sub tank fuel outlet. Should not take long.

sweet, so do they fit into wagons?

Without dragging out the manual sub and main both 90 ltrs

Just another reason gu coil cabs rock

cruiser utes are both 90, patrols are 90 and 85.

If you cut a hole through the floor it should fit, prolly need to remove the back seat also. The tanks are high, prolly finish at the bottom of the drivers seat.

the senders are different with respect to number of pipes.

you may be able to swap them over but i'm not sure if the depths are the same?

GU coil-cab tanks are 95ltr main and 80ltr sub.

Completely different "in tank" modules, you will need to custom build one ... but the rear in-tank module may to able to be modified to suit.

You can use the same sender for the pick up and cut into the fast fill hose (hose that run up to the top of the filler, breather about 12mm dia.) for the fuel return from the IP. This will keep the SUB fuel gauge working as normal also and lets the exess fuel return to tank,no mods to speak of.

the sub tank on a gu coilcab st is 85 litres.
