Thread: LONG RANGE FUEL TANKS

I haven't had them done but I'd go for the Opposite Lock one personally. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it bolts onto existing holes in the chassis so no drilling required. I think you get about 150L as opposed to the bigger tank as well.

I've never had any trouble at Opposite Lock and have found the people there to be really helpful.

In my opinion... Sill (Belly) tanks... 1 x Water, 1 x Fuel...

Balances the mass central and low.

I had the LR rear, and wouldnt do it again.
No value in spending that money for 55 litres when for less you get a separate tank (safety factor) and its in a better position on the vehicle.

I have the OL auxiliary tank.(It holds 45 litres). It's gravity feed so nothing to stop it from feeding the main tank unlike a pump failure. I haven't had any leaks from the connection to the main tank. The only trick is that the fuel guage stays on full for about 250 to 300 km before descending.

Good use of otherwise unused space. (I've put a water tank on the otherside.)

Tombie,

Did you have problems with the "Long Ranger" tank as far as quality, fitment or departure angle ?

Or is your opinion based on a good economic sense ?

Watertank is a good idea on the other side to even out the weight.

You could probably fix the guage problem quite easily by putting a tap between the two as well.
