Fuel System Options

OPTION 1: INDEPENDENT FEED SYSTEM (DIESEL ONLY + MOST POPULAR)

PART NUMBER: TL79A4

This system is designed as a change over system, which means at the flick of a switch the driver can independently feed the engine directly from either the main or Brown Davis auxiliary tank.  This allows you to manage weight distribution by draining the rear tank first to keep weight forward of the rear axle. This is the same system as the early 79 Series single cabs and 100 series with twin tanks.  All parts and hardware for install are supplied. 

LED AUXILIARY GAUGE

Toyota Tall Switch

Led gauge supplied in the independent feed system to monitor the fuel level in the auxiliary tank. Installed typically under the dash above the gear stick in a 79 series

LED AUXILIARY GAUGE

CP90 Gauge

Led gauge supplied in the independent feed system to monitor the fuel level in the auxiliary tank. Installed typically under the dash above the gear stick in a 79 series

MAIN/AUX SELECTOR

Rocker Switch

Allows you to quickly choose which tank you wish to feed the engine from. Installed in a factory Toyota switch knockout. 

6-PORT CHANGE OVER VALVE

Function: 

  • Feed from main tank
  • Return to main tank
  • Feed from auxiliary tank
  • Return to auxiliary tank
  • Feed engine
  • Return from engine

ASH / CIGARETTE TRAY INSERT

Keep your dash and console looking clean! Brown Davis has now developed an Ash Tray insert to mount your auxiliary tanks gauge and MAIN/AUX switch!

  • Black console insert
  • Compatible switch and gauge

OPTION 2: TRANSFER SYSTEM (PETROL AND DIESEL)

PART NUMBER: TL79A2

This system is designed to pump the fuel from the Brown Davis auxiliary fuel tank into the vehicles standard fuel tank. At the flick of a switch fuel will be pumped into your vehicles standard tank to then be feed to the engine. An LED gauge is supplied to show driver the fuel level of the auxiliary fuel tank at all times. When the auxiliary tank becomes empty an automatic alarm will sound to tell driver to switch pump system off. This prevents pump from continuously running which can course pump failure. All parts and hardware for install are supplied

Fuel pumps burning out is now a thing of the past. Brown Davis has developed a new auxiliary fuel tank gauge, switch and buzzer unit to be supplied with most Brown Davis auxiliary transfer fuel tanks. the small unit is no bigger then a 10 cent coin and can be mounted nicely in vehicles dashes.

TANK FULL

FUEL NOT TRANSFERRING

The LED Gauge will show the auxiliary tank’s fuel level at all times, even when the pump is not running.

TANK FULL

FUEL TRANSFERRING

When the button is pressed, the fuel pump will commence transferring fuel from the auxiliary fuel tank to your vehicles main fuel tank. The round yellow LED light indicates that the pump is running.

TANK HALF FULL

FUEL TRANSFERRING

As fuel is being transferred from the auxiliary to the main fuel tank, the LED light will indicate the fuel level remaining within the Brown Davis auxiliary fuel tank. At any stage, the fuel pump activator button on the gauge can be pressed to stop the transfer of fuel.

TANK EMPTY

FUEL TRANSFERRING

When the auxiliary fuel tank is empty, a buzzer will sound prompting the driver to turn the fuel pump off. This is designed to prevent the fuel pump from any damage and increase its longevity.

    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 Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series V8 (2012 – 2024) 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 of course is the point on the gauge you want absolutely correct.

In short, the distance to empty function on your trip computer won’t remain accurate with your new Long-Range Tank. This is because the vehicles ECU (Engine Control Unit) has the volume of the original tank size programmed within it. However, with many of our Long-Range Replacement Fuel Tanks being approximately double the volume of the original fuel tank, you can simply double the ‘distance to empty’ reading to roughly estimate your new driving range.

For certain makes and models there are unaffiliated 3rd party software programs that can re-write information to your ECU, for example, there are options for the Ford Ranger. We believe this fix is ultimately unnecessary, however, if you wish to have your ‘distance to empty’ read true for the new fuel volume, we recommend researching if there are options available for your vehicle. 

Good news is, 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. Furthermore, your low fuel warning light will work as intended.

We recommend to zero your odometer when you refuel and check your fuel consumption. Over time you’ll be able to establish how far you can travel in different driving conditions, i.e. towing, sand, dirt, etc. 

If you are planning to go off-road, we recommend our Steel Long Range Fuel Tanks where extra protection is not necessary. Made from 2mm Aluminised Steel, strength and durability are without question. Need more convincing? Check out the boys from All4Adventure and ExploreLife, both who run our steel tanks and have seen their fair share of remote and rugged environments.

Our Long Range Replacement Fuel Tanks are designed to make no impact to your vehicle’s stock clearance and ramp over angle. We design our Fuel Tanks with not only touring but hard four-wheel-driving in mind, therefore, maintaining stock clearance is paramount.
