I have a longranger 120 ltr in my Td1 D1 exy to fill but last,s yonks great tank

I went for dual sill tanks because they don't hinder the departure angle at the back and hold much more than a regular extended range tank. Mine are 40lt each side.
I had sender units installed in mine since there's no way of knowing how much is in them. They can be a bit of a pain to fill but I found that an extra length of pipe stuffed down the filler neck and a flexible funnel fixed that problem.
Be sure to use quality transfer pumps in the installation since I had a cheap one fail on me just when I needed the fuel the most!

If you don't do too much bumpy/rocky off roading then the Long Ranger might be okay for you but since I drive lots of sand and rocky tracks I think the sill tanks were the best choice for what I do.
