Outback Proven: long range fuel tank for tacoma

[phillyd2]

Would the FJ tank also fit the 5th 4Runner?

I was informed the Tacoma tanks did not make the container because of an emissions control device that has to be installed before sending. The part wasn't up to standard, so it's be sourced by a second company. I informed those who ordered them and i will post up when they are sent.

It's better to get this right than deal with it after they are installed.

First gen Taco please!!! Just got back from Tahoe and stoping every 250-300 miles is lame.

Agreed!

And does anyone, at least in the US, Canada, Alaska, really need 54 gallons of fuel on board?

Pilots have a saying: The only time you ever have "too much fuel" is when you're on fire.

Just to let everyone know the Tacoma tanks have left OZ and are in route to Vegas. I will e-mail those who ordered one tomorrow.

Good news for some lucky people Ben!

Ben, do you have a price and leadtime to CONUS for the FJ Main tank and aux replacement?

 

[enzo]

Yes, Gary, The Tacoma tank is a main replacement. In OZ main replacements are common on smaller light vehicles to keep the weight in the center of the vehicle. The FJ will have a main replacement and an Aux. for a total of over 60 gal. of fuel.

That as well. But and there is always a but. 60 gallons @ $4 a gallon = $240 a fill up. Yikes. Which I know all equals out in the end. Plus, 60 gallons weighs in @ 480# in fuel alone. Plus all of your gear and passengers would probably put you just at or over GVWR.

Per gallon weight....

Not to be picky, but gasoline weighs a tad over six pounds per gallon, putting the full tank weight at 360 lbs. That leaves room to bring Mamma!

You're correct. Sorry about that. Totally forgot about in weighing a bit less.
