Thread: Front Runner Auxillary Fuel Tank- Puma 110

reasonably easy to fit jake, but if you are running 33" tyres it'll hit.

Hey Mate

mines a TD5 but first thing I fitted and have given the car heaps, never had a problem with the tank and found that the gaurd that came with the unit provided really good protection on the rocky stuff I have been traversing recently in the Brindies/Cotter.

Greetings Jake,
If its the tank im thinking it is i woulod not touch it without modification. In principal its fine but it requires the main tank to be drilled and a brass fitting to be screwed in that connects the bottom of both tanks via a fuel line.

(the 45 Ltr tank is gravity fed into the main tank so the lowest parts need be connected)

This brass fitting that screws into the bottom of the main tank cuts its own thread and the line connecting the two tanks is low and subject to snagging.

If this line or brass fitting fail for what ever reason (just dumb bad luck from that branch you ran over in the bog hole for example) you loose all fuel in BOTH tanks....

Hey, I maybe wrong but I woulod get the drawings for the tank ande see what they show.

IF you wanted to use this tank (and I am) I would replace the connection hose and brass fitting in your main tank and add a fuel transfer pump to the system to suck the last 15 or 20 litres out of the bottom of the aux tank and into the main tank via the normal fill point.

My 2c

Here are the fitting instructions: http://www.dolium.com.au/libraries/r...%20(FTL49).pdf

Opposite Lock would be the obvious people to supply (via Dolium) and do the fitment.

About to fit one to my TD5 and dont envisage too many problems. The biggest issue I see is getting the threaded nipple in using a piece of wire.

Thanks Everyone for your imput, stil undecided on this one, may go with a replacement fuel tank although I am a little concerend about departure angle. There are so many products out there. Coments aways appreciated.

Jake

Hey CraigE,
See my post in "Projects and Tutorials" on Frontrunner 45l tank install to solve this issue.
