    Can I just add that many long range tanks leak and cause endless drama's over here from corrigations.I don't know if they are made stronger these days but the mounts have torn off many of them and I've seen many held on with ratchet straps and cursing owners.It's the reason I don't have one.

    Certainly I've seen the same after a trip to the Kimberleys etc. It was a very early Longranger in a RRC, one of their first, and when I rung them to ask about repairing it they were horrified to learn it was still in a vehicle, as ALL there tanks have been upgraded significantly at the bracket gussets etc quite some time ago to avoid this happening. I actually checked mine and it was quite a bit stronger in the bracketry department, and it was manufactured in 1994.

    The photo was taken at Augathella (Qld) less than 3 weeks ago.

    Fuel at Gapuwiyak is $2.10 per litre, but we (thankfully) didn't need to fill up there because of our range.

    Petrol is not available in Gapuwiyak. Opal fuel is used instead and was $2.20 per litre.
