Perhaps installing a large tank is a) more difficult to do or b) it just doesn't work because it's too big to be placed properly.

Are the AddBlue tanks part of the Australian vehicles? Its not a legal requirement out here I dont think at this stage, and a number of other aspects are pitched to the local situation IE Roo Bars etc.

 

[Krabby]

What is the volume of the AddBlue tank? I saw it holds 15-20 kg of which seems to calculate to like 4.7 gallons. Does that sound right?

The adblue tank in our BMW is 15 liters

17 litres.

The size of the tanks (17 litres) is listed on the Australian spec sheet.

So nobody else seeing a mismatch between the photos and the brochure in terms of the volume?

Unless the tanks are double walled then the volume looks far greater than 17 litres, or they're only fitting one of the two shown.

Coming at it a different way, what's AdBlue consumption and therefore range on a 17 litre tank?

I forget my exact calculations but I worked out previously that you would most likely not need to fill it before servicing (at 10k). Which kind of makes range a moot point.

We get adblue here, I’m guessing that the b57 engine comes as the full set of electronics, mechanical components and emissions control equipment so would be difficult to decouple. Besides, Euro 6 (which makes adbue mandatory) will become mandatory in a few years so probably not worth the effort.

I am pretty sure they are

About 1,000 kms per litre so 17,000 kms with fitted 17 litre combined tanks

Well that sounds more than enough then.

 

[Disco Dave]

Am thinking a 50L fuel tank would fit in there - for the B58 option.

 

[Norville]

Just sharing some of my pics from the event today. PT02.

 

[trobex]

A non issue for Australian climate really. Take one out and add a bit more diesel storage? Possible?

 

[trobex]

There does look line a heap of hidey holes for mud and cake to get in under that chassis. Will need a rigorous clean after the big hauls.

 

[r1978]

I think I read elsewhere that one ad blue tank is heated

Thank you for these pictures. What a great forum! Deserves to be pointed out that there is a unique quality to the information brought out by our members. Maybe it’s a testament to the vehicle that it has attracted a no nonsense, positive, helpful group of enthusiasts. I know this will continue as our members become owners. Truly enhances the value of the grenadier.
