Fully Welded 30 Gallon Steel Fuel Tank - Scout II
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is what you've been waiting for.
A fully welded, drop-in steel fuel tank built for the Scout II and Traveler/Terra. With a true 30-gallon capacity, you'll cut refueling stops by nearly 40% — more time on the trail, chasing the next destination, making lasting memories, and less time at the pump. Perfect for off-roading, overlanding, and high horsepower builds where range matters most.
What makes this tank different:
- Sandblasted and epoxy primed, at no extra charge. No one else in the industry offers this. Your tank arrives ready for paint, saving you the time and hassle of prepping it yourself — great for DIYers and restoration shops alike.
- Baffles that actually work. Fuel stays put around the pickup for a steady, accurate gauge reading, on-road or off. Extra baffling keeps vent ports from sucking fuel and plugging up. That annoying slosh during spirited driving? Gone.
- More ground clearance than any true 30-gallon tank on the market, with an optional custom-fit skid plate.
- Built for carburetor or EFI — unlike tanks that only work with a carburetor.
- Optional fuel breather system available if you're not running the factory charcoal filter.
Pressure tested and ready to bolt in. If you're not a welder, want your Scout road-ready fast, or you're a shop without time to weld one up — this tank's for you.
*Note your tank will come in black high zinc epoxy primer and color is usually black

Extra Considerations
Extra Considerations
f you don't have a 1” body we suggest you purchase separately our 1" Fuel Tank Drop Kit to clear the underside of your Scout’s original ride height body—OR you will need to cut and reposition mounting brackets 1” higher on the tank. If you choose to cut and reposition your brackets rather than buying OP-1008 kit, you will NOT be able to lift your fuel tank with a future body lift and you will NOT be able to bolt on our skid plates.
