NOT AVAILABLE This part is no longer available

This Extra Large capacity aluminium Fuel Tank is a RevingtonTR designed multi-application unit with outlets to cover TR4, TR4A, TR250, TR5, carburettor TR6 and Petrol Injection TR6.

This tank includes all the correct internals for use with petrol injection (PI) both mechanical and electronic as well as carburettor cars.
Designed by RevingtonTR using modern CAD methods and sold exclusively by RevingtonTR and their partners around the world, this tank incorporates a whole host of improvements ensuring the best possible fit and performance.
Features now include: -

  • Capacity of 61litres. The standard tank capacity according to the individual TR4-6 Triumph handbooks is quoted variously from 48.38 litres to 52.88 litres. The extra capacity in our tanks has been
    achieved by leaving both the L and RH side of the tank square rather than angled. The tank has its lower rear edge angle more than the later US TR6 tank so that up to 15 x 195 x 60 profile tyres will fit easily. Much larger tyres may not fit.
    Please note that this tank will only fit to Petrol injected TR5 and TR6 as long as the Pressure Relief Valve (PRV) is NOT mounted on the internal bodywork to the left of the tank. If it is, it will need to be moved as the extra capacity in this tank is achieved by squaring off the sides and therefore the tank and the PRV want to occupy the same space and they clearly cannot!
  • The tank fits behind the boot board as usual and is therefore unnoticed when fitted.
  • Improved Mounting Lugs with anti-vibration rubber mountings, which allow for slight positional variation of support brackets in rebuilt or previously damaged cars. In addition whilst reducing vibration the rubber mountings help reduce the risk of the mounting lugs being strained in extreme conditions. Experience has shown that solidly mounted aluminium tanks can suffer from lugs cracking and splitting away from the tank as the body flexes.
  • Improved baffling and anti-surge reservoir design further reduce the possibility of fuel pump cavitation at low fuel level in fuel injected cars.
    This tank includes all the correct internals for use with petrol injection (PI) both mechanical and electronic. The internal anti-surge reservoir is designed to ensure the car does not 'cough' on left hand turns with as little as 3 litres of petrol in it. Revington TR s bespoke tanks have a swirl pot system internally that performs in the same way as Triumphs solution as fitted to CR cars, but with a larger pot capacity (1.06 litres compared with Triumphs 0.79litres) reducing even further the chance of the engine stopping on left hand turns.
    Beware of seemingly similar products on the market, which have an ineffective anti-surge reservoir (or none at all!) and can be 4 or more litres less than standard capacity (15 litres less than ours).
  • A small recess has been introduced in the RH rear of the tank to accommodate the boot lamp fitted into the TR6 tank board.

    • The Fuel Tank is supplied as a kit, which includes as well as the tank, the anti-vibration mountings, screws and washers and a new gasket for re-installing the fuel gauge sender unit. It should be noted that the extra capacity afforded by this tank is primary gained by the redesign of the right hand side of the tank which has a squared off side plus maximisation of other dimensions within the constraints of the bodywork. As a result it is inevitable that the scaling of the petrol gauge cannot be the same as standard. The arm of the sender unit can be adjusted to compensate for this. This is covered in details as is general fitting of the tank in the 6 page fitting instruction manual which is included in the kit.

    The tank is manufactured from 2.0mm sheet aluminium and has a reinforced fuel gauge sender unit mounting hole. Mounting Lugs are manufactured from 3mm aluminium.

    You will also need a tin of Heldite sealant TDC5001-125. See below
