Extra fuel capacity for a Hilux
I've got a 2015 Hilux Doublecab that I am planning a trip in and one mod I need to do is to increase the fuel capacity. A long range tank is perhaps one option (just been told one make won't fit due to the diff lock on the rear), there may be others though I also don't want it to reduce ground clearance by too much.
An extra tank seems a good option but Front Runner have just confirmed that they can't sell them in Europe (I am in Scotland) and I can't find any other makes.
Carry jerry cans in the back - not ideal as they would be heavy to lift in and out, especially as they would be against the bulkhead; also some ferry companies don't like them, even when empty.
An inboard tank up against the bulkhead - possible, if safe, odour free and there is an easy way to fill/empty it. I was wondering if a marine diesel tank would work, I assume they are liquid and vapour tight.
Ideas?
