I had mine done at Mega 4x4 Som West, and it was a 75litre tank, dont remember the price exactly but think somewhere around R6k... Don't think I knew about Hoppy at the time..

Hi guys,

I'm about to fit a gravity fed long range tank on my petrol hilux.

Can anyone suggest which one is the best or better of these two:

4x4 megaworld 65lt

Or

Frontrunner 70lt.

Both are around R6000.

Both sit above the spare wheel and reduce ground clearance by 4-5cm.

Advice greatly appreciated!!
I don't want to fit one and then afterwards people suggest that I should have taken the other one!
