2024-Current Lexus GX550 Auxiliary Fuel Tank System 18 Gallon


Description

The Helivue Design 18 Gallon Auxiliary Fuel Tank System is engineered specifically for the 2024 and newer Lexus GX550, giving commuters and hardcore overlanders the extended range they need without sacrificing any factory hardware. Built from 1/8" 5052 aluminum in Colorado, this tank is lightweight, high-clearance, and designed to tuck above the bumper line so it stays nearly invisible. It installs directly onto existing frame locations with minimal modification, preserving your KDSS, factory air ride, and Class 4 receiver hitch exactly as they came from the factory.

Fueling is seamless - the auxiliary tank fills simultaneously with your main tank through the factory filler neck, so there's no extra step at the pump. A programmable fuel transfer switch, quality fuel pump, stainless steel fuel level sender, and all necessary hardware are included so you have everything to complete the install. This system has been tested extensively from 5,000 to 13,000 feet of elevation under real overland conditions, and it shows.


Key Features

  • 18-Gallon Capacity: Adds substantial range for long-haul travel, remote off-road trips, or daily commuting in areas with limited fuel access.
  • 1/8" 5052 Aluminum Construction: Thicker gauge aluminum with superior corrosion resistance keeps the tank durable and lightweight for years of hard use.
  • Made in the USA: 100% designed, built, and tested in Colorado - no outsourced manufacturing or compromises on quality control.
  • Simultaneous Dual-Tank Fill: Fills through the OEM filler neck at the same time as your factory tank - no separate fill point needed.
  • Preserves Factory Systems: Compatible with KDSS, factory air ride, and Class 4 receiver hitch - nothing gets removed or permanently modified.
  • High-Clearance, Low-Profile Design: Tucks above the bumper line for an almost invisible installation that doesn't compromise ground clearance.
  • Reduced Leak Paths: Simplified hose routing and fewer connections mean fewer potential failure points in the field.
  • Side Corner Fuel Pickup: Allows you to use the auxiliary tank to transfer fuel to another vehicle if needed - a practical feature for remote travel.
  • Bolt-In Installation: Uses existing frame mounting locations with almost no modification required - recommended install time is approximately 5 hours.
  • Complete Kit Included: Comes with a programmable fuel transfer switch, fuel level gauge, quality fuel pump, stainless steel fuel level sender, stainless steel clamps, stainless steel hardware, and bung.

Why You'll Love It

The Helivue Design GX550 auxiliary fuel system is built for people who push their vehicles hard and rely on them in situations where running out of fuel isn't an option. It's been beaten, bashed, and driven over rough terrain at high elevation without failure - this is a tank that earns its reputation in the real world, not just on a spec sheet. The bolt-in design means you're not cutting corners or voiding factory systems, and the clean above-bumper fitment keeps your rig looking purpose-built rather than cobbled together. Manufactured entirely in the USA, it reflects the kind of craftsmanship that overlanders and off-road enthusiasts have come to trust for demanding builds. Whether you're crossing remote stretches of the American West or simply want the peace of mind that comes with 18 extra gallons on board, this system delivers confidence mile after mile.

FAQ

Does installing this auxiliary tank require cutting or permanently modifying my GX550?

Almost no modification is required. The tank bolts into existing frame locations on the GX550, meaning no cutting or drilling into the chassis. The install is designed to be reversible and preserves all factory systems including KDSS, factory air ride, and the Class 4 receiver hitch.

Will this tank work with my GX550's KDSS and factory air suspension?

Yes - one of the key design goals of this system is full compatibility with the GX550's factory KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) and air ride. Neither system needs to be removed or disabled to fit the auxiliary tank.

How does the tank fill - do I need a separate fill point?

No separate fill point is needed. The auxiliary tank fills simultaneously with your factory tank through the OEM filler neck. Just fill up as you normally would and both tanks fill at the same time.

How do I transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main tank?

The included programmable fuel transfer switch and quality fuel pump allow you to transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank to the main tank on demand. The fuel level gauge lets you monitor how much is in the auxiliary tank at any time.

Does this system require my spare tire to be relocated?

Yes, spare tire relocation is required as part of this installation. Plan for that as part of your build when ordering this system.

How long does installation take?

Helivue Design recommends budgeting approximately 5 hours for installation. The bolt-in design and complete hardware kit are intended to make the process straightforward for someone with basic mechanical experience.
