Outback 4WD:
http://www.outback4wd.com.auWanting to increase the fuel range of
the Cruiser, I’ve opted for a replacement
180-litre ARB Frontier tank fitted by the
crew at Outback 4WD in Bayswater. These
tanks from ARB are made from a resilient
cross-linked polymer and UV-stable plastic
material and have a wall thickness of
7-9mm, which is much thicker than any
of the OE plastic tanks I’ve seen. They’ve
proved to be strong and rigid, having been
tested by driving a 60-tonne Centurion
tank over them. They are also significantly
lighter than a steel tank and, depending
on the model of tank for a 79 Series, weigh
up to 22kg empty. The tank comes with all
the fitting hardware required, as well as
a fully machined filler neck made from
aluminium, while the tank breather pipe
is fitted with a one-way valve to stop any
spillage in case of a rollover.
We’re sure to get years of effective and
trouble-free service from both the tray and
the tank and, while 180 litres is about the
same as what my Patrol carries, like the
Patrol, if the occasion demands more fuel
capacity, then we’ll opt for a couple of
plastic jerry cans.It’s a snug fi t for
ARB’s Frontier long
range fuel tank.Off with the old steel
tray and tank, and in
with the new.
