"AEV has just announced their new 10.2 gallon fuel tanks and expedition portal has had the first opportunity to see these tanks up close and document their fitment. We are currently on a 500+ mile Arizona Grand Traverse that will be featured on TV and in Overland Journal where we are testing these tanks and will report of their effectiveness. These tanks are so easy to install that it takes just a few minutes longer than putting off/on a spare tire. These are low-light images. Detailed images and installation information will be posted to the Expedition Portal forum in the next week after we complete the trip."

10 Gallons is a lot of weight to carry, but it is still a very cool design.

At first I thought that was a build in, "flip open" nozzle, and then realized it's the wiper or something lol. That'd be a bitch to try to pour out of I'm guessing (just being big and awkward)
