AUXILIARY FUEL TANK GAUGE AND BUZZER
Fuel pumps burning out is now a thing of the past. Brown Davis has developed a new auxiliary fuel tank gauge, switch and buzzer unit to be supplied with most Brown Davis auxiliary transfer fuel tanks. the small unit is no bigger then a 10 cent coin and can be mounted nicely in vehicles dashes.
THE LED GAUGE WILL SHOW TANK LEVEL AT ALL TIMES EVEN IF PUMP IS NOT RUNNING.
WHEN BUTTON IS PRESSED THE PUMP WILL BEGIN TRANSFERRING FUEL ACROSS TO YOUR VEHICLES MAIN TANK. THE ROUND YELLOW LED LIGHT SHOWS PUMP IS RUNNING

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.
