Fraser is the place a large fuel tank is very helpfull,we generally use at least twice the fuel there than Moreton.
Although last time we were at Fraser, it had recently rained,which reduced fuel use dramatically.

Moreton via Inskip would take both tanks. [biggrin]Quote:

So if you have a big tank,no worries[wink11]
Of course, they’ve moved it since I lived there.Quote:

Ummm... driving across the Simpson for instance... On the Madigan I try and carry 220-240l of diesel. I have 130 in the tank (or maybe it's realistically 120) and I carry 100 in jerry's. I typically get into Birdsville with 40-50 left which is a comfortable reserve. I've never got there with the light on but 1/4 is typical.Quote:

As others have stated the tank for both fuel types is 90. The stated economy is 10.5 for the diesel and 12.6 for the petrol.Quote:

Also, once the cars get here the aftermarket will no doubt be trying to find ways to increase the fuel capacity as a matter of urgency. Time will tell.
So.. can I just say.. on the Grenadier forum it's quite alarming how many Defender owners there are. Like almost universally with the occasional G-wagon person.
When Grenadier production gets going there is going to be an unusual supply of defenders on the second hand market...
At the same time as they are increasing the weight.....Quote:

Land Rover didn't bother with advertising them much. Thats without the massive US market which could easily swallow the whole production.Quote:
