Factory Auxiliary Sub Tank Install

[gofast]

Thanks Phil,

I've been accumulating the parts and haven't bought my fuel pump yet and sounds like the holley is a good bet. I was curious about the neck cutting and still nervous about it. I've taken a gamble and have a fuel gauge that is calibrated to toyota forerunners and it may suitable for the sub tank sender. Were you able to determine the ohm range for your sender? I've had no luck on mine finding it

Holley blue works well and is a vane style rebuildable self priming pump that can be run dry.

Yes cutting the neck is a little nerve racking but many have done it and lived to tell the story. I used a 32 TPI blade and took my time.

I do not have a sending unit. See post #5 for the way I monitor fuel level.

Aux parts - I have some extra filler hose available if you are in need. It the soft super flexible stuff. LMK if you are interested.

Hi Phil, i'm getting a aux tank and would like to do install soon. I have a few questions:
1) where did you get the dual fill neck?
2) did you do the install on 80 or 100 series?
3)would it work on the 100 series?

1) I purchased a new one from Akella $$$
2) 80 series
3) do not know

the 100 series use a completely different filler neck system.

Or we could hire you to go the the yard and find them for us in the states!

lol ..I cant drive 5mins down the road without seeing a couple of 80s ..they are vey popular in aus..they would be a lot of wrecks around to slavage from..biggest problem would be the shipping$$$ and getting all the exact parts needed..i think you might be better to look at a bigger aftermaket main tank..or maybe a custom sub tank..there would have to be someone in the states doing that sort of thing..

I bought a setup the last time someone shipped a container to the US. The only things I used were the tank, straps and dual filler. From folks on MUD we can get the dual filler, gas sending unit, and switch and then use a US sourced fuel pump. My used pump from AUS was bad anyway. So really if you collected just the tanks and straps that'd be all we need.

Dual fillers are discontinued by Toyota so used is the only option now. Petrol ones with the proper restrictior are getting hard to find used also.

The cheapest way to install a sub tank is, a switch, relay, generic fuel pump with an autometer fuel level gauge. Wire it up so the shut off switch on the sender shuts down the relay for the pump and tap the feed from the sub tank into the return line for the main tank with a reverse flow check valve on the engine side and you're done.

@Akella was selling the diesel dual fillers recently. I think the diesel version but no reason you can't use it on agasser.

I think he said they're both gone now

In areas with emissions testing it will fail the visual test.

 

[iptman]

I guess I should have looked in to that first. I'll know in a few days though.

That's what made me weld a gas top end on a diesel dual filler.

 

[iptman]

Yeah I just pulled the cut off end of my original filler out of the trash. But hopefully I get a lazy inspector.

For those running Petrol but have a Diesel filler, there is a $9.50 solution. No need to cut/weld and satisfies the emissions testing requirements.

I have dual filler necks in stock

Sweet! So I assume it's the 3rd one?

FWIW I passed my emissions testing sans filler restrictor.
