Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi,

just wonderin what people usually do about increasing size of tank, as you would have to agree that the standard size is pretty small considering it has a V8.

thanks,

I rekon you go with sill tanks. Cost about the same as a replacement tank only you get heaps of capacity. The mob that can do them here in perth (K&N) can also custom fit them so if you have a body lift of 50mm they can also raise the tanks that much so you don't loose out on clearance.

do they custom make their own? or install a brand name one?
or are they the tanks from the older landies?

ive heard of some poeple putting the hilux tanks into other 4bs as they are a sill tank (i think)

i have in the back shed a tank from my 85 rover that sit's inside the car at the rear driver's side fills from rear pillar and drains into main tank via a tap under the car holds about 70 liters other than that i have a long ranger 145? tank under the rear end which get's me as far as a standard jeep with 70l tank as discovered in the vic high country

K&N custom fabricate their own tanks (actually K&N Fabrications) for all applications. I think they are quite similar to the ones that lra and grame cooper use. I'm sure if you went to a landrover specialist that supplied and fit sill tanks (whatever brand), they would be able to lift them aswell. I've just never bothered inquiring because I'm in Perth.
