The Brown Davis long range and auxiliary fuel tank range is an engineered solution for being able to travel further with less fuel stops. They are designed to give maximum fuel capacity without affecting ground clearance and ramp over/departure angle, whilst being exceptionally strong against the most rigorous of conditions. The Brown Davis long range and auxiliary tanks allow you to get to the most remote parts of the globe where standard tank wouldn't take you, or as a tradesman get to that extra jobsite without constantly needing to stop for fuel.
All Brown Davis long range and auxiliary fuel tanks are constructed from high grade 2mm 14 gauge - Aluminium coated cold rolled steel, to ensure maximum strength and durability. This gauge of steel is sufficiently resistant to damage by impact, and therefore additional tank guards are not necessary (most standard tanks are less than 2mm in material thickness). This material is specifically imported by Brown Davis based on critical specifications. Unlike aluminium, steel is not prone to fatigue from vibration and twisting as seen in off road conditions. This fatigue resistance far outweighs any weight advantage aluminium may offer. However, the aluminium coating on the specific steel used by Brown Davis, offer's the strength of steel with the anti corrosion properties of aluminium.
The Brown Davis manufacturing facility houses some of the latest state of the art equipment including, computerised cutting equipment, folders and welders to name a few. Brown Davis also takes full advantage of the latest in 3D CAD modeling software, to model tanks and components prior to manufacture. Thus, giving a distinct design advantage when it comes to prototyping and producing a new tank.
The Brown Davis long range and auxiliary fuel tanks are arguably the most thoroughly engineered long range and auxiliary tank on the market. Some design elements include internal tank baffles to prevent fuel surge when travelling on unstable terrain, double skinned faces behind mounting bracket surfaces, and magnetic drain plugs fitted horizontally to prevent tank damage in the event of the tank coming into contact with terrain beneath the vehicle, just to name a few.
