Has anyone installed an additional fuel tank on their Grenadier? I’m based in Cape Town, South Africa and was looking for recommendations on who to talk to regarding upsizing my fuel tank.
I've heard folks talk about possibly eliminating the muffler and using that space.Nothing is available on the market as of yet; looking under it, the space is quite limited. Many aftermarket tanks for other vehicles gain capacity by protruding slightly further downwards, however, on the Grenadier, the fuel tank skid is already the lowest point, so this seems less than ideal.
Hopefully the usual suspects (Long Range in Oz/USA and some of the other US tank manufacturers that have recently started doing fuel tanks for "overland" vehicles) take notice and put forth the R&D
I’m sure I’ve seen a build on here where the silencer & twin exhaust has been replaced with a straight through exhaust leaving quite a large space for a tank.I've heard folks talk about possibly eliminating the muffler and using that space.
Hi Danny, you can speak to me. We have installed a 102 liter aux diesel tank at Charles from C&A Products in Saxenburg. We have removed the muffler box and have used the space for the tank. There is nothing installed in the muffler boxHas anyone installed an additional fuel tank on their Grenadier?

This agrees with what I have heard about the diesels. Petrol vehicles, on the other hand, may be impacted by the removal of the muffler.Hi Danny, you can speak to me.

Have tested the sound before and after the removal of the box and have found no difference in sound.
Although, the Milltek exhaust is literally just $1000 of piping and some fancy tips to delete the muffler, and it still doesn't sound very loudThis agrees with what I have heard about the diesels. Petrol vehicles, on the other hand, may be impacted by the removal of the muffler.

Thinking of jerry cans mounted to a swing-away carrier attached to the ladder.I did see that Outdoor Warehouse offers a generic plastic fuel cell that offers an extra 60 litres of fuel and it isn’t expensive. Mount where you want it style.
Probably not a long term or exactly ideal solution but good for a quick and easy fix to get people wheeling.
I assume that as and when someone develops a swing away wheel carrier it will be easier to carry more fuel in Jerry cans or ideally a more custom version.
Probably because the freight costs, from Australia, means it is not economic to do so.It seems that Brown Davis is not really interested in shipping to Europe. Any other options in EU for extended fuel tank?
That is a very good solution, unfortunately there are some serious drawbacks for my use case:I liked what Ronnie Dahl showed on his YouTube video. Mount a 20L rotopax fuel can on the rear right window right next to the fuel door, and then a pump to make it easy to transfer.
I don’t need extended fuel for my uses, so that’s on the back burner until I need it.
