Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hello, I just signed on the other day but have been viewing the forum and gleaning info for a while. I have a stick and heard that the auto has a second tank. I would love to get the extra tank and add it to mine. Anyone heard of doing this?? I am in the process of changing the exhaust out the side for more space and have torn the front end apart to fab a wich mount that will still give ample clearance. I think I'll go with the hydraulic but run it off a separate motor and pump mounted underneith as I don't like to rob any of the little power available as well you can run the winch when the vehicle is off. any thoughts??

Hello Andrew, not Andy; where are you planning to put this extra tank?

Planned, and didn't, use this as a under vehicle water tank, residing in the area of the muffler - but in my Delica a WVO tank is in place of the spare creating more room length wise.

BCDelica wrote:Free to good home - WVO or diesel tank, this is from a 1985/6 Fiero and the in-tank pump is shot. Was to be a diesel tank for the 03 Ford, but have decided against it. It's 51" long at the seam and 11.5" deep; measuring from the piping to the bottom. This is only a guess but it seems to be about a 10 gallon tank.

I didn't want to just scrap it cause it's such a odd ball shape and may fit in 'places' other tanks can't. Preference will be given to those whom haven't dissed my advice in the past.

On one of the other threads there was talk of the auto delica's with 70L fuel tanks. If that is what is under the autos then why couldn't I put one of those under my stick that only has a 45L tank?

WE HAVE ONE ISUZU ELF FUEL TANK HOLDS OVER 80 LITRE. GOING TO TRASH IT THIS WEEK END. ANY ONE WANTS FREE CAN CALL ME.

Morning, there's a reason the 5 speed doesn't have the two tanks that the auto has, something is different underneath. Normally a manual tranny is shorter then a auto, so wouldn't one have more room where the auto has the larger of the two tanks; between the transfer case and rear axle.

Hi Andrew Not Andy,I think you will find the stick shift Delica has a 60 litre tank not 45.



Mick not Michael no never Michael

Thnks for the info. I may be interested in the elf tank, mdrive. I'll call in the morning if you are open on Sat. I can modify almost anything if I put my mind to it. I like the challange, but nothing moves very fast around here. I wish that there was a owners manual for these L300's (in english), you know the kind that tells you how to operate the seatbelt and radio, but also has maintenance shedules and capacities. I ran mine for about 50 to 60 km with the fuel light on and then was only able to squeeze 41L into it. I even waited for the foam to die down to get the extra liter. I can't see how it's a 60L tank, Mick. Maybe I'll try again with a jerry can with me so I'm not too scared to run it out.

Andrew

Hey there if you can;

modify almost anything if I put my mind to it

why not find a larger marine tank (80litres) and do a little cut and paste like so.




Andy, never Andrew NOOOOOO not Andrew (or DREW)
