TOYOTA LANDCRUISER PRADO 250 SERIES

75 LITRE SUB TANK REPLACEMENT LONG RANGE FUEL TANK

Brown Davis is proud to release a highly anticipated long-range fuel tank designed specifically for the all-new Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250. With a reputation for crafting high-quality, durable fuel tanks for rugged off-road vehicles, Brown Davis has once again delivered a solution that promises to enhance the Prado 250’s touring capability.

The Prado 250’s Fuel Capacity

The Toyota LandCruiser Prado 250 comes with a standard total fuel capacity of 110 litres, a configuration that’s remarkably similar to the LandCruiser 300 Series. This total capacity is split between an 80-litre main tank running down one side of the vehicle, and a 30-litre sub-tank on the other side. While this setup offers a respectable range for most driving situations, enthusiasts and serious tourers often prefer the peace of mind that comes with a larger, more extended range for remote travel.

Similarities with the LandCruiser 300 Series

The Prado 250 shares much of its underpinnings with the LandCruiser 300 Series, particularly when it comes to the chassis design. This commonality means that many components, including the fuel tank setup, are very similar between the two models. In fact, the Prado 250’s fuel tank system is nearly identical to the 300 Series, which is why Brown Davis initially looked at using their 87-litre sub-tank replacement developed for the 300 Series in the Prado 250.

Tailored Design for the Prado 250

While the 87-litre sub-tank for the LandCruiser 300 is a near-perfect fit for the 250 Series chassis, a few key differences in the Prado 250’s design required a slight modification to the tank for it to fit perfectly. One of the challenges was the location of the AdBlue tank in the Prado 250, which occupies space that would normally be available for a larger fuel tank. To accommodate this, Brown Davis has reduced the size of the replacement tank slightly.

The new long-range fuel tank for the Prado 250 is 75 litres in capacity, a perfect balance between increasing the vehicle’s total fuel range while still leaving room for the AdBlue system and maintaining the vehicle’s structural integrity.

Total Fuel Capacity and Range

When combined with the Prado 250’s existing 80-litre main tank, the new Brown Davis long-range sub tank replacement will push the total fuel capacity to an impressive 155 litres. This increased capacity will give the Prado 250 a significant boost in touring range, making it an ideal choice for long-distance travel through remote areas. Whether you’re tackling the Outback or exploring remote corners of the country, this extra fuel will provide a huge advantage in terms of range and convenience.

Building a Brown Davis Tank

Since the beginning, Brown Davis has taken pride in the construction of our tanks, our Next-Gen Ranger tank is no exception. Our tanks are made with quality and care, from the materials we use to the stringent pressure testing, they are prepared for the harshest conditions.

Laser Cut Aluminized Steel

Manufacturing our steel tanks starts with laser cut aluminized steel. With this material, your tank will have the strength and durability of steel, and the anti-corrosive properties of aluminum to make sure their is no rust.

Folded Before Welded

Before welding the tank, we use specialized machinery to fold the laser cut aluminized steel to decrease the amount of time and labor put into welding. Folded parts also have superior strength to welded parts.

High Quality Welding Every Time

Next, our experienced welders add the brackets, swirl pot and baffles to the tank and then weld it all off.  We use jigs to locate the brackets for each individual tank so installation is as consistent and easy as possible for every vehicle.

Pressure Testing

Lastly, we take it through an air pressure test. This involves a soap test, submersion test and a pressure gauge. These techniques help us identify any rare leaks and where they’re coming from. If air isn’t coming out, fuel definitely isn’t.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.. All Brown Davis Fuel Tanks come with everything required to be fitted to your vehicle. This includes auxiliary (secondary) Fuel Tanks which come with electric fuel pump, hoses, wiring and fuel gauge.

After the installation of any Long Range Fuel Tank the vehicles fuel gauge (needle fuel gauge) will change slightly. This will be different in each vehicle depending on the tank shape. Some tanks will remain on full for a few hundred kilometres due to the extra height in the new tank. In most of the more popular tanks, we supply a special float arm to go with our tank, this gives a more accurate reading for the gauge. What we do make sure of is that the vehicles low fuel light and empty point is accurate on all tanks. This is of course the point on the gauge you want to make is correct.
