A diesel headboard tank is one of the most practical ways to add auxiliary fuel storage to a ute tray or canopy setup. Mounted behind the cab, these tanks make use of otherwise unused space while preserving valuable tray area for tools, camping gear, equipment and supplies.
Unlike loose jerry cans, a permanently mounted diesel headboard tank provides a cleaner, safer and more convenient fuel storage solution. It helps keep fuel secure, easily accessible and ready whenever additional range is needed for remote travel or long-distance touring.
For many 4WD owners, touring enthusiasts and tradies, a headboard diesel tank offers extra fuel capacity without compromising the usability of the tray or canopy.
Designed for Long-Range Touring & Remote Travel
Whether you're travelling through remote regions where fuel stops are few and far between or simply want extra peace of mind on extended trips, a diesel headboard tank can significantly improve your touring range.
These tanks are commonly used on:
- Toyota Hilux
- Ford Ranger
- Toyota LandCruiser
- Nissan Patrol
- Isuzu D-Max
- Mazda BT-50
- Mitsubishi Triton
- Volkswagen Amarok
- Custom ute tray builds
- Truck trays and service vehicles
Their slimline design helps maintain a practical setup while keeping weight low and close to the cab.
