Dual fuel tanks D22

Ben-D22 · Feb 5, 2012

Hey guys, i've got dual fuel tanks in my ZD30 powered ST-R. It gives me about 200 litres of onboard fuel (primary 75 and second 120). Does anyone else have a setup like this? I'd be interested to see how your setup looks as I'm yet to see another one on a D22.

Cheers

Hey ben,

Your dual tank setup is unique and you may never find another setup the same. Most long range tanks have between 120-140l depending on brand. These tanks replace the main tank completely. If you don't mind posting up a picture of your secondary tank so some of us can see how it fits. I can see 120l main tank and custom 75l replacing the spare wheel under the tub/tray, but the other way around is unique.

Thanks for the reply mate, I'm away at Kalgoorlie but i txt the misses to send me photos just for you lol. We'll see how i go.
The second tank deletes the rear muffler but I've still got the spare wheel under there. It adds a lot of weight, thats why its in the middle of a suspension overhaul. I purchased the car about a month ago, its my second D22.

Pics are coming in a few minutes, I don't know of the brand, its a very tight fit, the hoses aren't put in very well so i'm taking it out and redoing all the pipe work. Its got a minor leak too.

RustyNav09 · Feb 5, 2012

That's interesting it deleted the muffler and keeps the spare wheel still. Trying to work out how it all fits lol. Photos should be good

There the best photos I could manage fellas.

RustyNav09 · Feb 5, 2012

Very interesting Ben. So my guess is thst the tank on the left is the aftermarket job? It also leaves enough room above? For the exhaust to go through and dump at the rear? Never seen it before.

Ben-D22 · Feb 5, 2012

The exhaust follows the tail shaft down and is wrapped in that fibre tape. The tank is hard up against the floor of the cab, which provides a pleasant squeak (hence why I want to rip it out and have a look over the tank).

Got the details for the original owner ?

Id be interested to know who made the tank.

RustyNav09 · Feb 5, 2012

Oh sounds like you may need to pack it down with something to get it off the body. But I'm pretty sure noone else has the same tank. Looks to me a complete custom job.

Ben-D22 · Feb 5, 2012

The guy I brought it off only owned it for 3 months, I paid 24k, its only done 64'000km.
The guy before him was a diesel fitter in Newman, which is where the Nav spent most of its life. You can tell its seen a bit of red dirt, shocks seem stuffed, lots of red dust underneith. When I get it out I might measure it up, take some more photos and post them up, I'm fifo so that might be a little while.

All good mate, good info so far.

Does it use the standard filler or have some kind of twin filler like a GU or 80's?
