Poly Universal Fit Fuel Tanks
Ideal for Diesel and can also be used with Petrol provided ventilation requirements are met.
Perfect for use in Ute and Truck trays or in trailers etc. Not recommended for use inside vehicles or on Roof Racks or other unprotected applications but with suitable preparations and the use of the remote ventilation kit and suitable protection for the tank these sorts of applications may be possible. Consult your dealer for advice on these applications.
These Poly tanks use the same compounds as the poly fuel tanks fitted to many new 4WD vehicles and include a Flourinating process making the tanks suitable for Diesel & Petrol fuels. (Petrol applications however require more careful ventilation provisions to be made)
The tanks can be secured with good quality tie down straps or other custom made brackets & straps. Take care to avoid materials that could chaff the tank.
Capacity: Poly tanks are roto-molded using an oven. Tanks cool at different rates depending on the time of year and this can lead to different levels of shrinkage - thus to small variances in capacity between the same model of tank. Stated capacities are approximate.
Important Note: The 50, 55 & 60 Lt tanks are fitted with a low profile breather fitting . This may sweat fuel if the tank is over-filled or in off-road situations.
If this is a problem, the breather can be extended to a higher/remote location if desired. To extend, replace the low profile breather with a brass hose connector fitting and add a length of fuel to connect into the vehicle's standard fuel tank ventilation system with a suitable size T piece (may vary slightly depending on vehicle model and application). This work should only be undertaken by qualified personnel at a certified fitment centre or workshop.
A remote ventilation kit is available - refer Part No: FTUVK
Optional Hose and Ball Valve Kit - Item No: FTU55PK
Fuel Hose & Valve Kit
1.5m of high pressure fuel hose with a stainless steel ball valve On/Off tap.
Attached to outlet spigot of poly fuel tank to allow gravity feed to main tank.
If a permanent connection is required, it will be necessary to insert a T piece or similar in the main tank filler or fast fill breather line (parts not included in this kit)
Universal basic kit used to connect a BOAB Poly Fuel tank breather vent to a suitable 8mm fuel vent line in the vehicle's fuel system.
This is necessary if the BOAB Poly tank is used in for Petrol OR in any application where fuel seeping from the low profile standard breather fitted to the top of the Poly tank would cause a problem.
Note: Check the vehicle's fuel vent lines to ensure compatibility as some vehicles may require a different size T Piece to be used to connect this vent line.
