I just went into two different stores and asked about long range tanks. One was 130 lts, the other was 125 lts I think. Two different brands. One store told me there were cracking issues with one brand and I'm not really sure if I can mention names? Has anyone has ANY issues with leaks/cracks, or any other issues? I've seen different brands mentioned on shows like All4adventure, and I guess they must be ok if those guys rely on them in the middle of nowhere. Cheers.

I've got a long ranger 120L I've smacked up a bit and it's still hunky dory - although I'm nervous if it can take anymore [emoji45]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190828/3e6ba1281b8eb082d41c35b99b6c1de9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190828/9b0702737167a4d0193dc7a6a8bf8218.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190828/245b2d8209d51519e6393aec7d4ff685.jpg

If you can get 2 sill tanks they’ll get less beating and you will have much better departure angle

As a second thought get them to show you where they sit when mounted... might be a Benefit re departure angle between the two

I thought about the two small tanks, but not overly keen on lines going every where, pumps or new holes in body for mounts/fill points. The biggest issue I have is carrying all my fuel in the one tank. I normally carry 3 jerries in the back. Thanks for the replies.
