Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'taper' mean in this tank's design, and why does it matter for installation?

The taper refers to the depth profile, the tank is 200mm deep at the base and narrows to 150mm at the top. This angled shape is practical for ute trays or wagon floors where overhead clearance tightens above a wheel arch or tray rail. It allows the tank to sit flush against a wall or tray floor without needing perfectly squared clearances.

Is this tank designed for ute tray mounting, wagon floor mounting, or both?

Both are intended applications. The FTP50T's tapered profile helps it sit neatly against a tray wall or under a floor section. Straps or brackets are recommended to support the full loaded weight in either installation.

What fittings are included in the box?

The tank comes with a half-inch BSPT brass outlet fitting and a hose adaptor to suit three-eighths inch (10mm) hose. You will need to supply your own fuel hose, mounting hardware, and filler cap setup.

Does this tank come with a filler cap?

Yes, a filler cap in included.

What are the exact dimensions and empty weight?

The FTP50T measures 1000mm long by 350mm high. The depth tapers from 200mm at the base to 150mm at the top. Empty weight is 5kg.

What fuel type is this tank rated for?

This is a diesel auxiliary tank. Like all Boab poly diesel tanks, it is designed and recommended for diesel fuel only.

How does the gravity feed work given the tapered shape, which end should the outlet face?

The brass outlet is positioned at the base end of the tank, the 200mm-deep side. For gravity feed to work correctly, the outlet end should sit at the lowest point of your installation so fuel naturally draws toward it. Orienting the taper correctly during fitment is important for reliable fuel flow.

Why Shop at 4x4 Down Under?

We know that you have a lot of options out there, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’re considering spending your hard earned money with us. We like to think we stand out from the crowd in a few ways.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time. Once your order has been dispatched you'll receive tracking information which will allow you to track your order online every step of the way. And if something should happen to your order while in transit you can rest assured that it's insured and you won't lose a dime!

If you still have any doubts feel free to give us a call on 1300 76 86 41, or contact us here. We'd love to hear from you.

Shipping Cost

A shipping calculator can be located in your Shopping Cart. Please add your item to the cart, once in your Cart page, click "Calculate Shipping" link, enter your postcode and you will be informed of the shipping cost (if any).

Order Dispatch

Orders are usually dispatched within 1-3 business days. Should there be any delays we will let you know immediately.

In order to get your purchase to you as promptly and safely as possible we utilise a number of trusted and reputable courier services, including Australia Post (depending on the item and your location). These delivery services should have your item delivered to your door within 2 - 10 working days depending on your location. In some cases where the address is based in the more regional parts of Australia this may take longer. Should the delivery time take longer than we would like we will let you know.

As soon as the item has been shipped we will provide you with a tracking number via email. You can then use this number to watch your item make it's way toward your location. It should also give you a clear idea of when to expect your item.

Depending on the item we may contact you to arrange delivery. In order to ensure your purchase lands in the correct hands we will require a signature from you on delivery. If you are not home on delivery the postman/courier will leave a card with collection details.

Please feel free to contact us should you want to make alternate arrangements for delivery. We’re flexible and here to help.

Please note that unfortunately for almost all items we're unable to ship to PO Boxes (and/or Parcel Lockers or Parcel Collect). Please rather use a street or work address, or that of a friend, colleague or family member.
