Hi, I am new to this site and just wanted to ask a question about my recently purchased l300 which is a 1982 model with a 2.6 sigma engine in it.

I would like to know if there is a direct replacement fuel tank available which is larger than the 50 or so litre tank that I already have. Preferably from a wreckers.

It's either that or carry 4 or 5 jerry cans which take up too much space.

I will be driving round Oz so the more cheap fuel I can fit in, the better.

Many thanks in advance.

Both mine and my mates 84 L300 have a longe range tank in them (about 110ltr) They both look identical, so im assuming they were not custom made. try http://www.autoparts.com.au for the bit you need, Ive had a bit of success with them chasing parts for mine.

Mine seems to be a very basic unit, shouldnt be hard to fabricate one or have one made, but worth its weight in gold :) good luck!

Hi here,
Looking for the same thing for my 85 L300. I am trying http://www.autoparts.com.au myself for one but havn't had any luck yet. Will keep you updated if I do.

Have you thought about Autogas?
My L300 has the original petrol tank replaced with an 80 litre gas tank between the rear springs. I then fitted an auxiliary 75 litre petrol tank which goes length wise under the floor (centrally on the passenger side) I then pried off the 4x4 plastic logo from the side of the van and replaced it with a fuel cover from a regular L300 wreck. So now I go to the rear filler cover to add gas, and go to the new cover near the passenger door to add petrol. I did have to add some heat shield panels to the petrol tank to stop engine heat from affecting the fuel temperature.
Back in 1993 I travelled from Melbourne right around the country, and purchased my first 'petrol' in Katherine NT. I covered the cost of the conversion with the single trip.

I think these were made by gossies conversions years ago, ive been wanting one for years but havnt had any luck finding one.They were called SUPA TANKS and held about 120lts.
