Downey aux fuel tank

[NMBruce]

Does anyone remember the Downey aux fuel tank? It mounted above the spare tire and had a separate filler neck. What I need are some pictures of the tank, the hose connections and the filler neck.

There is company that makes them for about $650.00, but that's a bit more than I can afford right now.

found one for a 4 runner, and it should fit with some mods.

This will give me about 30 gals of gas

So.... $120+ to fill up! Sweet mod! Hehehehe

Are you talking about the tank from NW Metal Products? Downey used to sell them. They are closer to $700 now days. Downey also, many moons ago, sold a plastic tank that was junk. I used to own the plastic tank. I still own the NWMP tank that I installed in 1988.

put the tank in yesterday, and added in 5 gals to check for leaks, everything looked good. I put about 1 gal back into main tank (had to drain main earlier), so I had a low fuel light, about an hour later, took a drive and low fuel light was out.

Today I went and filled up both tanks, right at 24 gals, so with the 5 from yesterday, looks like about 29-30 gals of gas.

Gas anxiety is now a thing of the past. Enjoy, and wonder how you lived without it so long.

I still need to figure out how to get that mod past the CA emission's so I can install one.

low fuel light came on at 600 miles = $95.00 to fill up both tanks
