MAZDA BT50 (2011-PRESENT)

145 LITRE REPLACEMENT LONG RANGE FUEL TANK

The Mazda BT50 has proven itself not just on-road but off-road. Whether driving between jobs sites as a tradie or tackling the Kimberley the BT50 is perfectly suited. The Brown Davis replacement long range fuel tank has been designed with this in mind. The tank sits at the same height as the vehicles standard tank making sure your ground clearance and ramp over are not effected. The Mazda BT50 replacement fuel tank is also fitted with the Brown Davis swirl pot system so even on the steepest angles the in-tank fuel pump will always receive fuel. More information on the massive driving range increase and product compatibility can be found below.

Standard vehicles features

  • Distance till empty

    In short, the distance to empty function on your trip computer will not remain accurate with your new tank. Your vehicles ECU has the volume of the original tank calibrated to it. As the Distance to Empty counts down, the float starts to move from Full to empty, because the volume of the tank has changed dramatically without changing any reference data for the ECU to base it’s calculations on, the Distance to Empty is incorrect.

    Your fuel gauge will remain accurate, as the float inside the tank will indicate how much fuel is inside the tank, so your readings going from Full, to ¾ to ½ right down to empty will remain accurate as it is now. Your average fuel consumption calculations will remain accurate too, just not DTE.

    What we tell our customers is that most or our Long Range Tanks will tend to ‘hang’ on full for a while longer than it did originally, simply put there’s more volume to be used before the float starts to move downward. Your low fuel warning light will work as intended.

    The best tip we culd give you is to reset your trip meter every time you fill your tank, over time you’ll be able to establish how far you can travel in different driving conditions.
