!HD-FT 4.2L Turbo Diesel Engine with IBS Dual Battery Relay and Optima Yellow-Top batteries. The starter is 24v and there is a third battery in the truck for accessories.

166L Long Ranger auxiliary fuel tank. Our tank is rigged in with original Toyota parts for their auxiliary tanks that shipped in Land Cruisers going to Australia. It’s a beautiful system as there is no pump required, just a valve that switched seamlessly from one tank to the other.

This valve manually controls which tank is being filled: in for the main fuel tank, and out for the auxiliary tank.
