Long Range Automotive - LRA - Long Range Fuel Tanks

Diesel tank has a LR sender. 3-position switch in the dash. Select main tank, sill tank or transfer. Gauge displays whichever tank selected.
There is also a low level sensor which I think switches off the transfer if the sill tank gets too low.

Thanks Colin

Good to see it used a LR sender, so I’m guessing you use your standard fuel gauge? Bit like an XJ Jag with duel tanks?

They also have a fitting center less than an hour from home which is also a bonus!

I've always wanted a LH sill tank for my 130. I know it won't be much capacity given the hang down from the battery box which is the problem, so for an extra 50-60 litres it will be very expensive for a tank to be custom made.

Unless I learn how to tig weld.....then by TIG welding equipment....

I'll just carry a few jerry cans for now.
