Thread: 16 gallon fuel tank

If I'm not mistaken (it happens) the tank will fit, as the extra capacity is in depth of tank ie it hangs lower, so fixings should be the same. TJM, I believe made a 16 gallon tank like this years ago.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Numpty, iam watching one on Ebay. Its one thing that BB realy needs for longer trips that Matty (youngest boy) and i intend to do

You would need to remove the forward fuel tank bracket welded to the chassis. The larger tanks run forward as well as sitting lower. Depending on whether I can make it fit in my Stage 1,or not, I may have a spare smaller tank for the passenger side.This netts 90L Vs 70L with the single larger tank.

Unless I am mistaken the extra capacity is in a projection forward under the floor, so that the position of the front outrigger is different.

I agree John thats been my observation between the 16 and 10 Gallon tanks.

As usual very helpfull info and a big thanks, i dont and cant weld so it would be in the too hard basket for me.


scrambler: are you saying you want to buy it then sell me you old tank if all goes well, if so i could be interested

Actually, I'm saying have a tank lying around for fitting in my stage I, but that looks like I'll need a custom tank for the job. The second tank is likely to be surplus to requirements. see here: Underseat tanks into a wagon?

ok Steve, will be interesting to see how you go
