Product Description
Many years ago we embarked on a process of building the only larger fuel tank for the Samurai for off-road use. Over 15 months of labor went into making our first tanks. They have been great sellers over the years. One of the major slow downs to our GEN2 tanks were the custom built fuel pump hangers. So back to the drawing board and mold repair for yet a 3rd modification.
Our New GEN 3 improved tank now uses a commercially available fuel pump assembly hanger and pump. The Non-Fuel pump tanks have the same assembly but can easily be converted into an in tank pump setup without having to buy a new tank.
Our 15 Gallon tank gives you 50% more fuel capacity. This tank is made from XLPE polyethylene and will never rust or rot out. The 3/16 thick steel skid plate is Zinc plated and affords far better protection than the stock plate. Each tank includes a new sending unit and everything you will need for the installation.
The tanks are available in black and natural (Pictured) colors. The natural is slightly opaque so that the fuel level is visible when you look at it. This can be very comforting when you are trying to decide whether or not you have enough gas to do just one more section of trail or if there is any doubt as to the accuracy of the fuel gauge.
This tank is a direct replacement for non fuel injected cars and for off-road use only.
When swapping in this tank it is a good opportunity to replace the Fuel Filler Hose.
Tank Dimensions:
W/O Skid Plate: 25"L x 13 1/2"W x 12"T
With Skid Plate: 25 1/4"L x 15"W x 12 1/2"T
NOTE: TANKS ARE BUILT TO ORDER. THERE IS AT LEAST A 3 DAY TURN AROUND TIME BEFORE SHIPPING.
THIS ITEM SHIPS AS AN OVERSIZED ITEM.

Worth the effort to install

Well made tank. I have been lusting for one of these for years and finally bit the bullet. The cost is high and so is the shipping. Those are the only down sides. I installed this just before hunting season in September. Everything went in just as it should. One bit of advise, don't be a scrooge, buy the filler hose it will make the install go better!! I have custom 2" exhaust that is all mandrel bent and had to relocate the pipe to snake between the shock and the side of the new tank.

I have probably owned my 15 gallon tank for 10 years or so... I bought it to replace my OEM that had started to rust internally. The skid plate is strong and has bounced off several rocks through the years.
I had one issue once when I was at the coast and drove through a rather large tide pool. The pump shorted out because salt water had pooled on top of the tank. Once I figured out what happened and got the water off everything ran like it should and a couple waterproof connectors and some "paint on electrical tape" fixed it for good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another but it's built so well I probably will never need to. -
Great tank but expensive

Well built. fits like a gloves, good skid plate. It's a chunk of money but it is worth it.
