Essential for off-roaders and spirited drivers. Our fully baffled steel fuel tanks are designed to hold 30 gallons of fuel, allowing an almost 40% reduction in refueling stops, ensuring you and your Scout can get on with your exciting and uncharted adventures. Baffles, what are those?

Baffles keep the fuel where you want it, around the fuel pick up. They also help keep the fuel level gauge stable when accelerating or decelerating on- or off-road. We added additional baffles, designed to stop your tank vent ports from sucking fuel and plugging the vents.

Also that annoying “sloshing” sound you get during spirited driving….gone!

If you don't weld, send the kit to a local welding shop of your choice or convince one of your buddies to weld it for you. These kits are made to be assembled easily, even by an amateur welder.

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. 

Not Included

Fuel pump and fuel sender

You will need these so that you have the gaskets for pressure testing
