Gas tank modifications?

Just curious to see if there are any gas tank mods (more fuel capacity) out there yet?
- Aftermarket larger gas tanks?
- Expansion tanks?

What's an expansion tank?

(My gas skid has a few little dents and bends in it. I think it holds a smidgen less now)

I seem to remember what Clint mentioned. Some Aussie company (can't remember the name) developed a larger tank. I believe it was about 120 L capacity. Much larger than any of the stock tanks, and you'll loose departure angle because the only place to put the extra space is hanging down lower. I don't remember if it was a one off or was put into production, but I seem to remember hearing you could order it. Freighting that thing from OZ would cost you a ton. Maybe try searching over at JU (haha.... I know) if you can't find anything more here.

Cheaper solution would be some jerry cans strapped onto the rear.

using HD Old Man Emu springs on the rear is reccomended

Ha, I did'nt even realize that was the email add. I posted... Hello.

How many gallons is the 120 equal to ?

120 L = 31.7 gallons US

31 gallons would be a nice addition- I wonder how much extra it would hang down....

this guy has the 120l tank and a OME lift

as you can see it is pretty tough this is a shot after a Mazda 323 Astina played tag with its rear end

Wow, the mazda is pretty wrecked as opposed to the jeep. The gas tank does hang down pretty much further than stock but not as bad as i thought it would be. Wonder what they want for it plus shipping ? I would'nt mind having 60+ % more capacity.

send them an email, I know that ARB Aus sell them, they are about $1200.00 AUD and they use the OEM fittings and sender unit

Fouros, I see the liberty is named a Cherokee in Austrailia...
If it's $ 1200.00 AUD, what's that here in the states equal to ? I can't even imagine what shipping would be... Ouch !!!
