Thread: Long range fuel tank?

how big are the 2 tanks you have already all together?
where did you want the other fuel tank?
I know the 109 station wagons had a fuel tank at the back.

each of my tanks are 45 litres. I was hoping there is one that would fit undernearh, as my chassis is cut down though, im not sure that one would fit

how many litres would you want in the extra tank?
can you put 2 20L jerrys on the back and/or front?

yea im thinking of taking 3x20L on the back, but have no idea how much fuel I will need

Is swapping one of the 45L tanks for a 72L tank an option or do you think by the time you do that you might as well look at another option?
I would imagine though that your set up now with 3x20L jerrys would be enough

The factory options were 10 gal (45L - which you have) and 16 gal (72L). To fit the 16 gal tanks you need to chop the front tank outriggers off the chassis and weld them about flush with the firewall outrigger.

The 16 gal tanks sit about 3" lower across the whole length of the tank.

The 16 gal tanks seem to be available (this is just an example - I have no connection to the seller)

Check the bottoms of the tanks, if they aren't "hardened" look elsewhere.
Mine are heavy duty checkerplate bottoms, nothing short of a nuke device can rupture them. So tough they are almost rock sliders all by themselves.
