34 gallons in

[Koffer]

I installed the rear sub tank tonight and it went pretty smooth. I did have to trim a little of the rear mounting bracket where it hit the pinch weld under the rear gate .
I think the transfer pump is bad out of the box though as it sounds like a jack hammer. Before I write it off I need to full it up and see what it does when pumping something other then air .
If it is beat, at least its easy to replace (installed everything to be easy to work on down the road )

I'll be posting up pixs later this weekend and a writeup in "Outfitting" unless everyone wants it here.

After the bugs are worked out with this then onto the 38 gal main tank

Todd this is an 80 specific mod and therefore the write up should go here.

Looking forward to it especially the easy to work on part.

72 gallons of gas---planning on going to Alaska amigo? So it will be about 435 pounds--what lift will you use to support that? Looking forward to pics.

And that's just the gas!

If it is a diaphragm pump it will make a lot of noise running dry. They are not very quiet anyway. The noise is not too bad when used as a trasfer pump because it will not be running all the time, only when you are transferring fuel. You may actually like that because you will know when its operating.

My auxiliary fuel pump is loud. Try it and see if it works.

My standard 90 llitre and 50 litre sub tank from factory work lovely and quietly.
I'm sorry I just needed to rub it in.
At least 950 klm's per two tanks.

Yup sometimes I actually wish mine was louder. It is hard to hear it operating, luckily it does auto shut off when complete with the transfer.

Ok heres some pixs I was able to get between the "honeydos" this weekend

It was $100 to just fill the sub tank with 93octane

Also you guys were right the transfer pump is fine when pumping something other then air

He's more than making up for it with the weight he's been losing since his rig will sit higher than before.

Your right ,but it does hang down some so a custom skid plate will be fabed so I can use it a a rear slider to match the Hannas for rock surfing

Yikes, that thing hangs down lower then my 44 Gallon tank!

You coulda did the 44 gallon aux tank and left the main tank stock and got the same results for less $

Either way, welcome to the $225 (+/-) fill up club!

P.S. Super Clean Looking install on the NAV!
