Opposite Lock aux fuel tank question

[dave3.6]

The reason I'm asking is NWMP does not make a tank for the 3rd gen 4runner. I thought Opposite Lock might be another option. If I knew which models were comparable between North America and Australia I could figure this out. I'm currently working on mounting a gas tank from a 94 Cherokee.

im going to say that the one for a 90-95 4runner will not work with a 96+ 4runner. the frames are different, gas tanks on different sides, etc.

what vehicle model/year do you have? One thing you might consider is checking this thread out:

Bruce's Ford Fuel Tank modification

[dave3.6]

The Bruce's F150 Tank is certainly the closest I've seen so far to what I want. Mine will probably hang lower but it will have a skidplate. I'm wanting to fill the main tank from the aux tank and I'm not sure how the plumbing will work. T fitting into the vent line and I don't know how I'm going to run the filler neck or fill the main tank. I really don't like the idea of having the filler neck in the wheelwell like on the Downey tanks.

Read this thread on plumbing ideas.

You could always import an aux tank from an overseas Prado. Should bolt right in.

[dave3.6]

Do you have any examples of the Prado tank being used in a 4runner? That sounds like a good option. I am working on repairing a plastic tank out of a jeep cherokee, for use as my aux tank. I paid $27 cdn for the tank and pump, but the junkyard punched a hole in the tank to drain the gas out.

being a plastics guy, im going to highly recommend AGAINST repairing that plastic fuel tank...

please do yourself and your fellow drivers a favor, put a crowbar in your wallet and buy a tank sans hole...

as for importing a tank, will work as long as you arent in a state that adheres to CARB rules.
