Larger Fuel Tank - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys not really sure where to put this but has anyone considered increasing the fuel capacity?? I would like a large fuel cell for my car to increase the range. Yeah I get most of you think it is a waste of money but I like the idea of maybe a 100 liter tank if possible.

Thoughts.... And go!!!

I'm not even sure if there is enough room for a larger tank down under. I think it would be cool if we had the option for a larger fuel tank (kinda how Porsche does with the 911's) though.

You spend the money on a carbon fiber roof, hood and trunk and then want to put a 100 liter tank in the car?

Have you looked under the car? Please indicate where you will place such a tank. The current tank is already spit in half to make it fit.

Wet carbon doesn't save weight. I was thinking maybe in the trunk lol. I haven't done much looking into it, just an idea that crossed my mind

What I hate is how big the tank is for our windshield wiper fluid. Requires me to use a whole freaking bottle and it is still not full.

Disagree! There was a day where I would have 5 or 6 bottles around with about 20% left in the bottom of them. I worship the designer that said "Hey the stuff comes by the gallon why don't we make the car hold a gallon"

I never have a full bottle when I need to share it between 2 other cars. I ended up draining all the fluid for weight reduction purposes.

In the fall, winter and spring (so about 70% of the year) I can easily go through more than a bottle a week. I am not worried about weight savings I just want to be able to see where I am going.
