    Spoke to them today, and whilst they did confirm the price they knew almost nothing esle about the tank including it's capacity!! I'm also still waiting on my callback for a freight price!

    Anyway, are you happy with it, and does it fit nicely and not screw up the departure angle or anything else?

    Very happy with it, if I had my time over again I wouldn't change a thing.
    Did it cause any trouble with the sway bar or tow bar?. Pat

    Sure, I'm ready to go so drop me a PM and well organize something. As they said they only use TNT, once I actually get a quote it might be worth looking at one of these depot-depot deals as it will probably be much cheaper.

    I am also looking for a long range tank and we have a TNT account so get good rates - If the tank is OK and it fits under well and does not hurt departure angles i may be interested also - split freight 3 ways?

    Do you have a link to the site so I can see how well it all goes together?

    Cheers

    If your profile is up to date, you're a bit far away from us!!

    They have amazingly little info on these tanks, so I'm going to take the risk given others on here are runnign them!!

    No, not at all. The tank sits up underneath very nicely.

    The bottom edge follows the departure angle precisly.

    Note - that my tank is LRA Long Range Automotive, they are based in Victoria. I dont think it is the same as the Long Range Australia mentioned is this thread.

    Sorry Pat didn't see this question,

    The tank comes with extention legs that lower the sway mounts, you can see them in the picture on the last post.

    As for the tow bar it is not affected at all. Again you can see it is the factory fiited unit.

    Cheers

    Yes Pat, $1250.00 fitted.

    The extension legs for the sway bar are part of the kit. The tank uses the original fuel pick up and sender unit for the gage.

    Cheers
