Brown Davis Africa
Australia's toughest tanks, now available in Africa
Long range fuel tanks and underbody protection, built in Australia since 1978 for the long gravel roads of the Kalahari, Namibia and beyond.
Fewer fuel stops. More Africa.
In southern Africa the next fuel stop can be 400 km of gravel away, and the pumps are not always working when you get there. A Brown Davis tank lets you carry the fuel you need for long crossings into Botswana, Namibia and beyond, without jerry cans on the roof.
Pick your bakkie or 4×4 and we will show you every tank, guard and accessory made for it.

Why Brown Davis
Laser-cut aluminised steel
2.0 mm aluminised steel that resists corrosion. Made for corrugations, river crossings and rocky tracks.
Internal baffles
Baffles stop fuel surging on steep climbs and dune faces, and add strength to the tank.
Tapered approach angle
Tanks follow the factory lines, so ground clearance, ramp-over and departure angles stay the same.
Factory sender and filler
Replacement tanks reuse the factory sender, pump and filler, so your gauge and fuel cap work as before.
Pressure tested
Every tank is air pressure tested in our Melbourne factory before it ships.
3-year warranty
Backed by more than 45 years of building tanks for remote travel.
