Here's a poser.
On the 94' Surf I have seen a swing away wheel carrier as standard.
Now that there is no spare wheel up it,s butt what is there?
Have they installed a bigger fuel tank or an auxiliary???
Can anyone tell me.Does anyone have a surf repair manual they could scan a page from???

Seems like a waste of precious space screaming for 60 ltrs of water and 60 ltrs of aux fuel .
Thanks for the reply

Yeah there is nothing under there except a couple of crossmembers and a panhard rod a bit further forward. Perfect for mounting tanks etc. That's where my fuel tank is now.

The reason I asked is I just scored a Surf tailgate and swingaway wheel carrier.This will leave a shitload of vacant real estate under the tail.
Does anyone know of a tank available at the wreckers which might fit straight in.The area I can use is 700mm wide,600-650mm front to back and approximately 350-400 deep(147 ltrs at a guess)????

Fold Anthony Rocca up and staple him under there. He needs somewhere to hide.

Yes,, the GQ Tack can be modded to fit in a surf, hit me if you want a link to the writeup. I have a surf and was going to do the same, but didnt in the end, now looking for an aftermarket auxilary.
Cheers

I fitted one to my old 86 4runner many years ago (the tank is suppose to fit the coil models only...
