2013 model Canter FE Series FE125, FE160 (single- and crew-cab) and FE180 (excluding 110.2-in. wheelbase model) trucks from Mitsubishi Fuso Truck of America Inc. (MFTA) can be ordered with an optional, factory-installed 33-gal. fuel tank mounted on the outside of the frame rail on the left side of the cab-chassis. The optional tank replaces the standard 30-gal. tank located between the frame rails aft of the rear axle at no additional cost.
The optional side-mounted tank is being offered to eliminate issues with certain body applications, especially rollback wreckers, wheel-lift stingers and short overhang dry vans with lift gates, where the in-frame tank location can interfere with fill-pipe routing or body mounting, the company said.
