Fuel Tanks

Mine has a 120 litre tank so that's a range of about 1000 kms.

Mine has 220 litres and was setup predominantly to run in isolated regions in the North West.
To be honest its overkill for most situations and probably not required, but there is a difference between living in isolated areas and visiting them once or twice in a lifetime.
You eventually come across the situation where the servo you were planning to fill up at has run out of fuel I have seen this on a number of occasions. Its as simple as a cyclone has been through or the gen set is broken and others wait days for fuel but you can continue on your journey.

Yes i agree. I’ve lived up in northwest Queensland for a large chunk and it certainly wasn’t uncommon for fuel to be unavailable due to weather issues. Having long range tanks in those areas is more a necessity than a nice to have. I have LR tanks fitted to both my touring vehicles more out of caution than necessity these days.
