Does anyone make a replacement main fuel tank for the Puma that is compatible with the Hayman Reese HD Class 4 tow bar ?

Or is an auxiliary tank the only option ?

Thanks,

Pete

Can't remember if that's the hitch recommended, but have you looked at Long Ranger?

Thanks jabber. I was going to give them a call to discuss, but I'm certain they specifically exclude them.

I have a long ranger tank from ARB that is a 127l(I think) replacement and reese hitch. This is on my 2009 110
The reese hitch may require slight modification to the arms that mount along the chassis to clear the tank. On mine they did, on my mates they didnt. Easy to do in any event.:D

Cheers

you are only stuffed with the genuine tow pack as it wont accommodate the tank due to its design.

Thanks guys. I rang Long Ranger - they're definately not compatible with the HR tow bar. I also found some older posts mentioning the same thing.

I looked at the Brown Davis site and it appears they only do the 70 ltr sill tank for the Puma.

Cheers,

Pete

Have just installed a Long Range Automotive replacement tank to our 2010 110 .It is 134litres and we have the tow bar installed by dealer at time of purchase.
The Long Ranger was not compatible.
