Difference between dual cab Hilux and 4-Runner

Hi Mike and Mary

Hubby is at work so I can't ask him.
We owned a 1985/96 dual cab diesel Hilux but we took the original tank out and put an aluminum long range tank instead.
Worked a treat.
I can't remember what we paid for it back in 1987/88, sorry.

Mike,

If you can't find an off the shelf aux tank you will find the big tank manufactures will custom make a tank for your truck and not much more than a replacement tank. Mate had one made for his Rodeo to sit where the spare was under the tub.

Not sure but 2 things come to mind
1) Maybe feet room in rear seat of 4 Runner necessitates aux tank position
2) Maybe not so much profit in hilux for manufacturer compared to 4 Runner & they don,t believe it justifies it

if you want to re route your exhaust get another std tank & fit it to the other side much cheaper or mount a tank where the spare is & make a spare wheel carrier

Check out 4WD Systems in Adelaide, they seem to know which aux tanks are interchangeable between hilux, forerunner and surfs.

Or go to www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/body.htm
for some ideas on fitting other tanks

Cheers

I have a 110 litre aux. tank in my Hilux Dualcab. It is mounted where the spare is and the spare sits in the tray. The tank feeds through a six port valve so I can draw fuel from either tank. The fuel level reads on the standard gauge, so if I am using the aux. tank the fuel level in that tank is displayed. This setup was fabricated and fitted by K&N fabrications in Perth and works well. Not cheap though.
