One of Australia’s favourite wagons of recent years is now eligible to receive a 145 litre fuel tank upgrade, thanks to ARB. The new durable and impact resistant crosslink polymer 145 litre diesel long range fuel tank for the GU Patrol is due to be available in ARB stores and stockists by late September 2016.
Replacing the main tank of the Nissan GU Patrol 3.0 and 4.2 litre diesel vehicles, the new Frontier tank offers Patrol owners an additional 55 litres over the factory specification, and when combined with the factory sub-tank offers an impressive 175 litres of storage. With wall thicknesses of up to 8mm and constructed from a specially formulated crosslinking polymer, the ARB Frontier tank is durable and impact resistant, perfect for off road applications.
A first for the ARB Frontier tank is the ARB engineered fuel collector. This fuel collector acts as a 1.8 litre fuel bowl and provides a consistent fuel supply while driving through rough terrain including extreme vehicle angles, low fuel situations and high ‘fuel slosh’ conditions that may otherwise starve the vehicle of fuel.
Another design feature built into the fuel collector is a spring loaded mounting system. This clever feature ensures the fuel collector maintains contact with the bottom of the tank while being able to automatically adjust as the tank adapts to terrain conditions.
Frontier long range diesel fuel tanks have fast become the benchmark in long range tanks for diesel 4×4 vehicles. Their polymer construction means the tanks can be shaped to best fit the undercarriage of the vehicle, while the crosslink technology combined with its one piece design provides increased durability.
