upsize fuel tank/s on a 2004 GU 3.0 wagon
Can anyone tell me if I can fit larger diesel tanks on my stock GU wagon.
Or even how to hook up additional tanks would be fine. Just after a few more km's.

Hi mate, please head over to the introduction section and post a Hello thread. We like folks to start with Gday.
Yes you can get a 70lt long range sub tank and a 147lt long range main tank giving you 217lts up from the factory 125lts in the twin tanks.
Head over to the intro section mate

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.

There are several manufacturers of long range fuel tanks and can be purchased from any 4wd shop, you'll probably even find some on eBay.
I have changed my sub tank to a 75lt Long Ranger (LRA) branded tank.
Brown Davis also make them.

Thanks to Megomonster also.
I will look into it today for pricing. How difficult are they to change over & are there any tricks I should be aware of.

If you already have twin tanks then they are fairly straightforward and can be fitted in the driveway if you have the tools. They use he same sender and plumbing the exists on the car already making it straight forward.

If you are going to replace the sub tank, that's the one in the middle, there is a wiring loom that runs next to the tank, be Shure not to pinch it between the tank and chassis.

Thanks PaulyG
That's the kind of advice that I need. Simple so I can understand it. Do you know if its legal to have plastic tanks instead of steel? My brother builds plastic tanks and I could get him to make one instead of spending over $1000
