[GUIII4.8er]

My dual fuel GU 4.8 has main tank removed to have 115 litre gas tank. The sub tank of 35 litre (?) is still intact but its pretty small and am wondering if I can get bigger one to replace?... I still use fuel alot to minimum valve damage while pushing it hard up steep hill or sand work. But i use gas to cruise.. .

Somewhere i read that there is a 80 litre sub tank?

Just be aware also that it is a heavy tank and hangs down a couple of inches below the chassis rails.

I have the 81 litre sub tank from 4WD Systems. Mine is a diesel; not sure if that makes a difference?

Just be aware too that you will need to replace your upper trailing arm on the driver's side with a "boomerang-shaped" arm if you have any sort of lift in your suspension.

Thanks! I rang 4WD System and they do make 78 litre subtank to replace the tiny standard one. I gonna get one real soon!

I've got a 75L sub tank in my 4.8. It hangs down as low as the muffler. I've never had any problems with it.

 

[GUIII4.8er]

Nice, so how many kms do you get out of the 75lt subtank?

Mine is an LRA and is 75 litres. It has a notch in the tank for the trailing arm which has plenty of clearance for the standard arm with a 2 inch lift. The notch probably costs the 5 litres compared to the other one mentioned above.

I've always intended to buy one of those, but I've read some questionable things about their fitment etc.

Did you have any issues Roachie?

I must admit they are priced very competitively and I'd do some 'modifying' rather than pay another $500!

I've got the 4WD systems tank in my tb45 and the only problem is one of the mounting tabs wasn't perfect and it caused the tank to sit a bit "scue wiff" rather than remove the entire tank and staighten the tab, (its a fair ***** to install on you own) i jacked up the front corner of the tank and put a thicker stiffer rubber spacer in. In the process of getting this right i jacked the entire side of the car up with nothing but a piece of floorboard between the tank and the nissan jack. So if this says anything, they are strong bastards (read also heavy). Cheers
