I fitted a Frontrunner. Never had any airlocks. It was also gravity feed.

I honestly can't say , we use to fit a few EXEL tanks when I was still in the industry and never had airlocks or cracks on the welding .Digger wrote:thanks rudi,how many litres is the exel tank,price?
Some of the other manufactures had some hair cracks on the welding

Had a 42lt fitted from them on my Fortuner. No problems at all.WESKUSKLONG wrote:EXEL tank its available from Northern offroad in Randburg.
But could never get more than 105lt in both, now matter how empty I drove it.
But I think my gauge showed empty when there was still n few litres of fuel left in std tank. I even drove it with reserve light on for 60km. Still couldnt get more than 105lt in there.
No airlocks nothing, awesome tanks

Re: long range tank for vigo
I have a 88L ss tank from Gerbers on my Vigo. It only drops the spare by 50mm. The only problem is filling it takes long and they could not fix it. I get the full capacity so no air lock the breather is just not right and I have not spend enough time under the vehicle to sort it out myself.
