Long Range Fuel Tanks

[bobzed57]

All

I've checked a few posts on long range tanks and I think I have a handle on most issues that might arise, but I have a question. I've been talking to a few tank fitters and some advocate pumps to transfer the fuel and others gravity feed. Any tips or preferences which way to go?

Cheers

Given the location of the tank in a D3/4 gravity feed might be difficult.

That's what I thought. All the posts here talk of transfer pumps, but a mate has been dealing with a local guy who reckons gravity is the way to go because of reliability. Didn't make sense to me.

Pumps make sense because I'm working on the theory that they're going shift fuel faster than it can fall.

Pumped is done by choice.
Gravity means if you hole the tank then you lose the lot before you realise!
Pumps give you control.
Speed is not a factor as you can transfer as you drive.

Hi Mowog,

I am on the lookout for a long range tank and read the comments with interest.

There must be many arguments either way wrt to pump or gravity.

The link below gets to a site that deals in gravity feed tanks. - including an installation for the D3/D4 at a signicantly less cost to others on the market.

I think gravity must be simple and must work for D3/D4 owners to fit and use the set up.

I'd be most interested to hear from users of gravity feed long range tanks from Outback Accessories WA.

Thanks

Hi Mowog,

Email the manufacturer - they supply OL with long range fuel tanks, water tanks, bull bars and swing arms etc

Worth the query - let me know how you go
