In remote areas, there isn’t a petrol station just round the corner. In this category, which is part of Engine & Performance, you’ll find fuel tanks, pumps, filters and mounting brackets to make your 4x4’s fuel system reliable and future-proof, with a wide range of options for the Nissan Patrol Y60/Y61. Whether you’re replacing an existing tank or preparing your vehicle for longer overland trips, you’ll find the parts you need here.
Anyone undertaking longer journeys without the option to refuel en route will benefit from a larger fuel tank capacity. Here you’ll find 110-litre steel and stainless steel fuel tanks, a significant increase on the original tank. A stainless steel version is resistant to corrosion and therefore lasts longer in harsh, damp conditions, making it a logical choice for those who use their vehicle extensively off-road. The steel version is a more budget-friendly alternative that is more than adequate for most users, provided you check the tank regularly for damage.
As well as complete tanks, you’ll find fuel pumps, filters and the corresponding mounting brackets here to ensure everything is fitted professionally and in accordance with specifications. This is important when replacing a tank or upgrading your system, to ensure that the pump and filter remain in the correct position and at the correct height and do not get pinched during fitting. A blocked filter or an incorrectly positioned pump can quickly lead to starting problems or a loss of power, so it’s worth not skimping on these components. For the necessary tools and fitting materials, please visit workshop & assembly.
A sub-tank skid plate protects the vulnerable underside of your fuel system from stones and obstacles on the terrain, and in this category you’ll also find additional tanks for both fuel and water. This is useful if you’re going on longer overland trips and don’t want to rely on refuelling en route, for example on multi-day trips through remote areas. For additional recovery kit for that sort of journey, do have a look at recovery & winches, so that you’re well prepared even if your car gets stuck or you face an unexpected setback.
A good fuel system works best in conjunction with the rest of your engine build. So be sure to also check out intake, turbo & intercooler to improve air flow, cooling to prevent overheating during heavy use, and exhaust for the exhaust side of your engine. Together, these components ensure that your engine performs consistently, even under heavy loads.
A well-protected fuel system prevents breakdowns far from home. Consider fitting a protective plate under the fuel tank to guard against stones and obstacles, an extra fuel filter to keep out contaminants, and regular checks of the hoses and pump. Particularly on long off-road trips in the Nissan Patrol, a reliable fuel system is just as important as a robust powertrain.
Are you unsure which fuel tank, pump or protective fittings are right for your Nissan Patrol or other 4x4 project? Our team will be happy to advise you, so that your fuel system is tailored to the journeys you make.
