Long Range Tank prices?

With the Mulgo sill tanks - do you lose the under seat boxes as well?

I was on the understanding that you don't, which is why they were appealing to me - air compressor etc are located under the drivers seat.

My understanding is that with Mulgo's sill tanks and the Front Runner sill tanks (imported by Dolium and available from Opposite Lock, and possibly Mulgo), both sit below the seat box. They are about 40-45 litres each. The Dolium ones are about $1000 each plus fitting. You can certainly get left and right ones from Dolium though left ones are special order.

Agree - he fitted a 45L Dolium extra tank in my RHS rear quarter panel. Works seamlessly and no reduction at all in clearance.

And cheaper than a replacement tank - under a grand all up from memory.

Mulgo tanks are below the seat/battery box - not lower than the chassis. Passenger side 40l / Driver side 60l.

The previous owner of my car can't recall the details of the 75 litre drivers side sill tank on my 110. I can't seem to find one like it in any aux tank threads. It was installed either by ARB or the dealer.

It is a stand-alone system with a separate filler pipe just in front for the rear wheel and you can switch from one tank to the other from in the cab. Under seat storage is unaffected.

The advantages are that if you have a problem in one tank (dirty fuel, leaks etc) you can survive on the other tank.

If I knew what it was I'd recommend it.

I've ordered a LRA 125lt tank from my local TJM stockist. Price fitted = $1247.00 :)

Will post a pic when done

Tank is being fitted at the moment, should be back this afternoon :cool:

Will post a pic when done

It means you don't risk getting dirty or expensive fuel in out of the way places, you only refuel once a month around town, and you can drive all day without having to stop for fuel, which means your lunch stops can be in a national park instead of a town. Also there's no risk of fuel on hands and clothes from refuelling in the bush.

Michael, what brand of tank do you have. Is it one tank at 150lt or a multi tank setup. What Defer do you have?

thanks

Reviving an old thread...

I've got a 2009 110 Defender Wgn with the Factory Fuel Tank along with the 45ltr Inner Guard Tank installed. Just wondering if there is a Long Range Replacement Tank available where I can still retain the use of my 45ltr Inner Guard Tank?

BTW... I've also already have RHS Aux Sill Fuel tank installed as well...

Mine has a 120 litre Long Ranger main tank. I've never actually checked if it's possible, but there seems to be plenty of space where the 45 litre tank would go. I assume it would just gravity feed into the main tank.
