Title: Perentie RHS tank in LHS.
Post by: Diana Alan on October 20, 2014, 01:25:34 PM

Is it possible to fit the RHS tank from a perentie into the LHS?

If it is a GS, the battery box is on the left side - not sure what is there on an FFR.

The battery box could be cut away and I'm sure something creative could be done about the exhaust, but I don't think so. It's a tight fit in there and the tank is shaped to avoid the radius arm mount on the chassis.

You'll need a l/h tank out of an RFSV & re-locate the battery.

RFSV tank is chamfered to avoid the exhaust   ;)

Was thinking about sacrificing one of the 24V radio boxes for the vehicle systems and secondary 12V battery, which would liberate the LHS and I have a spare RHS tank and filler which could be modified.

Diana, the lhs under seat tank in the RFSV is a version of the LR90 tank (smaller than the rhs perentie tank) that permits the 4BD1 exhaust

Passenger Tank is a standard 90 tank, part number, ESR2242, 12 Gallon tank.  LRA have them in stock I think there $1800.

Others also sell them....

Hope that helps.

Thanks everyone, sounds like it isn't as easy as swapping the tanks in the SII and SIII, so at $1,800 not in my budget till I part out 49-353

Silly question,

So when you open the battery box on the LHS of a RFSV, there is the passenger tank?

If you wanted to add an additional tank to a FFR, could you pull a standard 90 tank from a wrecker and could you use all the LR 90 tank bits/pieces for installation into the FFR.

Thanks,
MAC

Theres no battery box, the battery are in a slide out unit.

Yes you could use all the old bits from a 90, you would still need the cross over unit, and the Perentie filler tube.

I have a lh tank in the 6by which has a capacity of 53 litres. I wondered why it was smaller than the rh tank.

6BY has twin 60/62/65L tanks (depends on which reference you choose to believe)  ;)

The RFSV tanks are both different, no idea why? I think the LH one is larger from memory or is it the other way round.?

Surveillance (RFSV/ SRV) tanks are; RHS std 60-62-b5 as stated, LHS is ~42lt (ex late '80s D90)
