Have read a few posts about this... could be done but the price would be scary. I would love more range in the tank but will get a jerry holder on a trailer or on the rear bar much cheaper and a custom fuel tank I would imagine would have the jim off the road for at least a week or more

only custom tank i've seen in a jimny is on the bigjimny forum & the user cut away the boot section (where the jack is stored) & placed a stainless tank in that location. |

U could put a plastic boat tank in the back and just plumb the breather and filler into the original and gravity feed it down to the stock tank |

From what I have read, it is possible to gain some fuel space, but only around 10 litres or so.. So for the $1500 + that it costs to make it, its not worth the investment. The drive shaft is the biggest killer here. It reduces the space dramatically. A body lift could increase this, but not by much. |

I will have a 40-50 litre aux tank worked out in a few months similar to the longranger aux tank but not $2500 and able to be self fitted. |

I found and rang a company in Vic I believe called BROWN DAVIS and he said yes I can do a replacement tank of 60 litres but he needs to have a donor jimny for a while so it can be made to suit. And it would be around $1000ish to have it done. I'm in SA,doh |

My zook will never be a full on mud or rock crawler,more of a tourer and everyday cruiser. |

I feel like if suzuki were to make the new model Jimny come stock with a 60/70 litre tank that it would be a big selling point..... of course then you loose more of your carrying capacity....But then surely suzuki could up the GVM by another 30-50kg...? ....That being said....and then an M16a engine...and a replacement gearbox....but then they fit it all in a suzuki swift as standard what's so hard about a Jimny :p |

Well, follow that logic and you end up at a defender 90 or jk wrangler. |

& a car costing twice as much & losing what made it great in the first place, being lightweight. |

It is a second tank under the car, push a button to switch between the two tanks. |
