iv been told that an 85 paj tank will fit is this correct?? i need a new tank in my lwb and cant find one!!! i all ready know the swb is the same but the pipes are different and no body around here will change them

[Gwagensteve]

Any number of tanks will fit if you move the mounts (which you'd have to do). SWB vitara goes in easy behind the rear axle.

Jackaroo tank fits behind the rear axle with custom mounts. 88L IIRC.

Pretty sure long ranger or one of those mobs still do a bolt in long range tank.

[greavesyzook]

Yeah long ranger do but its for the swb.. I'll just have to modify one by the looks of things.

100% I was looking it up maybe 6 months ago and someone was selling one specifically for the midmount factory trayback tanks.

[greavesyzook]

There hard to find lol

[jonfromhamilton]

U could make an ugly one and regret ur design after all ur hard work like i did

[claytox]

For people with tanks behind the axle, wheres your spare wheel? (Lwb)

[Gwagensteve]

In the shed at home, where it belongs.

[greavesyzook]

Pretty rare ya need a spare on a Zook claytox... I haven't had a flat tyre yet and Iv had zooks for 10+years

The factory under tray spare mounts fail and the spare falls out anyway. See, even Suzuki knew you didn't need it.

I joke, but I have almost 25 years of Suzuki experience. I've never seen an unrepairable tyre failure.

[greavesyzook]

Still no luck with a tank

I tore a valve stem off on a rock. That was pretty unrepairable trackside.

[Gwagensteve]

Not at all. Sure, it takes a little time and some tools but it's completely repairable.

[greavesyzook]

Steve is right. Unless you have a giant gapping hole in your rubber most stuff you can fix if you have the right kit

The aldi $20 ki

Ok, so it's repairable. But it's a lot less effort to put the spare on.

[Gwagensteve]

Sure, but carrying an impractically heavy and bulky spare because it's easier that repairing a valve stem or reseating a bead doesn't make sense for tiny cars that are so payload limited.

Example - a full sized spare on my car would require me to carry almost nothing else in my car, and it weighs 50Kg. So I carry tyre levers, spare valve stems/cores, and plug kit.

Interestingly, I've never required any of it for my own car. I did recently break off a high-flow valve stem, but as these are threaded, I removed it and threaded in a plug. I didn't need to remove the tyre (or even the wheel from the car)

Steve.

Fixed it with a heap of 50-50 solder hopefully it won't leak again!!
