oversized gas tank


Recommended Posts

not that I've ever seen that were "for a Comanche".  I'd imagine there are more generic tanks out there that might work. :dunno:  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 :D

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

 

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. :shaking:

 

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. :crazy:

seems you just need a tape measure reading of where you want to put it and go find one that size  :D  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!

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.

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

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