TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 40 SERIES LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS

40,41 & 42 SHORT WHEEL BASE – 45 & 47 TROOP CARRIER AND UTE

The Toyota 40 Series LandCruiser holds a special place in the history of Brown Davis. Back in the 1970s, the 40 Series was one of the very first vehicles Brown Davis developed a long range fuel tank for, helping Australian adventurers, tourers and remote area workers travel further into some of the harshest country on earth. Nearly 50 years later, the iconic 40 Series remains as popular as ever, with enthusiasts across Australia and around the world rebuilding and restoring these legendary LandCruisers for touring, work and recreation.

Brown Davis offers a full range of long range fuel tanks and fuel system solutions for the different 40 Series chassis and body configurations, including the Short Wheel Base (SWB), Troop Carrier and Ute models. Because each body style and chassis layout is unique, Brown Davis designs tanks specifically to suit the available space and intended use of the vehicle, ensuring maximum fuel capacity while maintaining clearance, strength and reliability.

As these classic LandCruisers continue to be rebuilt and modernised, many owners are looking for ways to improve comfort, safety and touring range. Brown Davis not only manufactures replacement long range fuel tanks to dramatically increase fuel capacity for long distance travel, but also produces relocation tanks designed to move the original under-seat cabin fuel tank to a safer and more practical position underneath the vehicle. This upgrade frees up cabin space, removes fuel from inside the cab and helps modernise the vehicle while keeping the classic 40 Series character intact.

Every Brown Davis tank is built with durability and real-world touring in mind. Designed and manufactured in Australia, these tanks are engineered to handle the demands of remote travel, corrugated roads and harsh offroad conditions — exactly what the 40 Series LandCruiser was built for.

From faithful restorations to fully customised touring builds, Brown Davis continues to support the legendary Toyota 40 Series with fuel tank solutions developed from decades of experience and a long history with one of the most iconic four wheel drives ever made.

Step by Step DIY Instructions

The Brown Davis Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series Tanks come with basic instructions. We recommend these are fitted by qualified mechanics or people with vehicle knowledge.

Brown Davis manufactures a wide range of both Steel and Poly tanks so finding the right type of tank for your vehicle is crucial. Many factors need to taken into account so below are the highlights of both our steel and poly long range fuel tanks.

STEEL LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS

  • DRAIN PLUG

    ALL BROWN DAVIS STEEL FUEL TANKS COME WITH A DRAIN PLUG FOR DRAINING CONTAMINATED FUEL OR EVEN COLLECTING SOME FUEL FOR A MATE.

  • BAFFLES

    ALL BROWN DAVIS STEEL LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS HAVE INTERNAL BAFFFLES, THIS MINIMIZES FUEL SLOSH AND MOVEMENT. ALSO PROVIDING THE TANK WITH GREATER STRENGTH AND INGEGRITY.

  • SWIRL POT

    ALMOST ALL BROWN DAVIS STEEL LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS HAVE AN INTERNAL SWIRL POT. THIS DESIGN TRAPS FUEL AROUND THE PICK UP SO THAT YOU CAN RUN DOWN TO THE LAST FEW LITRES.

For 4WDs and tourers planning to head off the beaten track, our aluminized steel Long Range Fuel Tank is the best option. 

POLY LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS

  • LIGHT WEIGHT

    IF WEIGHT IS CRITICAL IN YOUR VEHICLE ON AVERAGE MOST LONG RANGE POLY TANKS ARE 10-15KG LIGHTER THAN STEEL TANKS.

For fleet managers and customers sitting primarily on surfaced road, poly long range fuel tanks is a great option.

Building a Brown Davis Tank

Since the beginning, Brown Davis has taken pride in the construction of our tanks, our Next-Gen Ranger tank is no exception. Our tanks are made with quality and care, from the materials we use to the stringent pressure testing, they are prepared for the harshest conditions.

Laser Cut Aluminized Steel

Manufacturing our steel tanks starts with laser cut aluminized steel. With this material, your tank will have the strength and durability of steel, and the anti-corrosive properties of aluminum to make sure their is no rust.

Folded Before Welded

Before welding the tank, we use specialized machinery to fold the laser cut aluminized steel to decrease the amount of time and labor put into welding. Folded parts also have superior strength to welded parts.

High Quality Welding Every Time

Next, our experienced welders add the brackets, swirl pot and baffles to the tank and then weld it all off.  We use jigs to locate the brackets for each individual tank so installation is as consistent and easy as possible for every vehicle.

Pressure Testing

Lastly, we take it through an air pressure test. This involves a soap test, submersion test and a pressure gauge. These techniques help us identify any rare leaks and where they’re coming from. If air isn’t coming out, fuel definitely isn’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.. All Brown Davis Fuel Tanks come with everything required to be fitted to your vehicle. This includes auxiliary (secondary) Fuel Tanks which come with electric fuel pump, hoses, wiring and fuel gauge.

After the installation of any Long Range Fuel Tank the vehicles fuel gauge (needle fuel gauge) will change slightly. This will be different in each vehicle depending on the tank shape. Some tanks will remain on full for a few hundred kilometres due to the extra height in the new tank. In most of the more popular tanks, we supply a special float arm to go with our tank, this gives a more accurate reading for the gauge. What we do make sure of is that the vehicles low fuel light and empty point is accurate on all tanks. This is of course the point on the gauge you want to make is correct.
