    Long Range Tanks V8 2003

    Looking at the options for a long range petrol tank for a V8 2003 D2?
    95L is fine for highway work, averaging 15L/100Km light work, climbs to over 16.5 when fully loaded with 2 adults 4 kids and fully loaded roof rack. Looking at doing corner country and back down the birdsville track next year most likely with a camper trailer so we are going to need extra capacity.

    Try Long Ranger or Brown Davis.
    BD do a much larger one - complete ***** to fit - but great gear.

    If you are not a regular outback cruiser, then 4 jerry cans will do the job strapped to your camper. That is what I use, and you don't find yourself tapping into them all that often. A lot cheaper than a long range tank.

    Oh yes, I do run a V8.

    And most importantly if you get a leak/hole you won't lose the lot.

    Try Long Range Automotive, they do the tanks below, if you are really keen you can go up to 252 litres if you use the sill tanks as well.

    I think the price from memory from TJM was around $2100 for the main tank installed and complianced with Qld Transport.

    Note: The sill tanks do not fit with ACE and SLS due to the extra parts on the chassis rail.

    From my email enquiry;

    We manufacture both replacement and auxiliary fuel tanks to suit your vehicle.

    1. 150ltr replacement fuel tank, RRP $1243.00 inc GST supply only + freight. Part number LDR2.
    2. 51ltr auxiliary fuel tanks (LHS or RHS) $825.00ea inc GST supply only + freight. Part number LD2AS.

    If you have require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me or your nearest TJM 4x4 Megastore.
    Regards,

    I have the Browne-Davis set...200lts, 2mm steel. Maintains full ground clearance and obviously doubles the original range.
    For me, which is why I did it, no extra top load for jerry cans, keeps the CoG lower, easier fit up than gas and requires no mods to ECUs etc.
