Hi Guys, making enquirers on a long Sub tank from LRA and Brown Davis and the email from Brown Davis has got me saying "WTF" to myself lol . here is what they said (GOOD MORNING WE DO AN 80 LITRE REPLACEMENT SUB TANK FOR YOUR CAR TO FIT THE LARGER TANK YOU MUST
HAVE A BODY LIFT OF 50 MM (NOT A SUSPENSION LIFT) THE COST OF THE TANK IS $917.00 PLUS A FITTING COST OF
$198.00 WE DON’T HAVE THE TANK IN STOCK IT WOULD TAKE 3 WEEKS TO PORODUCE & 2 HOURS TO INSTALL) ..............wtf .
Anyway is this true that you need a 2 inch body lift for there Sub tanks installs. I did get a email about LRA sub tanks and they don't need body to be lifted. cheers Alex

Never heard that before! Ask for clarification or re ask your question. Assuming your after a long range sub tank for a GU. Very common item. Body lifts in a GU are rare.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

Brown Davis reply makes sense to me...
They have two tank options (3 if you count the petty).
They do an 80 litre replacement Long Range Tank for the GU bolts straight in.
They do a 90 litre tank that doesn't IE if you want their larger Long Range Tank (90 plus litres) then you need a body lift and then it bolts straight in.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
The way it's worded at first comes across like u need a lift for the 80l tank. But if u read a bit slower and throw a commercial in there it come across that "to fit the 'bigger' tank you need a 2inch lift"
Saw this in a mag today, not one for patrols as yet. Another option, 7 to 9mm thick and no welds to crack. Could be a good tank.
All good untill it does get a puncher or crack then it's a bin job..
But I agree the ability to easily shape I to the vehicle gets it out the way more..
Not sure how the get it so consistent.. 7-9 mm is awesome if true because the only way I can think of making seamless tanks is blow moulding..
And they have some very detailed angles in them..

It says in the piece that they use rotational moulding.
