oversized gas tank

[MiNi Beast]

are there any suppliers offering a oversized gas tank? 

[Pete M]

the 23 gallon is available for the long bed.   

[Pete M]

or are you talking about a gigantic one?

[MiNi Beast]

i have a 23 gallon. was wondering if they had a 28-30 gallon size  

[Pete M]

not that I've ever seen that were "for a Comanche".  I'd imagine there are more generic tanks out there that might work.   but even then I have my doubts.  it's probably going to need to be a custom box.  unless you want to do a fuel cell in the bed.

 

or you can do what I do and carry 10 gallons in these stylish army cans

Thanks!

hey yeah i need a spout for the one i have.  thanks  

 

yeah i want to move the gas tank up into the box and was debating a fuel cell of bigger capacity for those longer road trips in the bush eh. 

 

living on the edge going in the middle of nowhere with a backwards gage thats couple gallons off  and we'll say I'm tired of the gas can funnel fill up when i only need an extra 50 miles or 10  trail miles. 

 

ummm and my gas tank straps are rusty again so need another set soon. 

[Pete M]

seems you just need a tape measure reading of where you want to put it and go find one that size    I'd wager you could get a rather large amount of gas on board if you went with a straight-up rectangular tank.  plus then you could have a fuel pump that's easily replaceable! 

[MiNi Beast]

yeah i was looking at this one.

yeah, 500+ pounds of gas will get you deeeeeep into the woods    might be hard to sleep in the back after installation though.

that thing looks like it costs as much to buy the tank as to fill up lol

I think I read somewhere that you can get a 97 Dakota gas tank to fit. I think that is around 23 gals

I built one years ago that utilized a stock fuel pump assembly in a square box behind the cab. Half was fuel and half was a toolbox. It was right around 30 gallons and used the factory fuel gauge.

The 97 Dakota tank holds 22gal., and fits quite nicely (with a small dent added to the tank to clear a chassis brace.)
