Thread: Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

I get over 900klms from a 75 litre tank in my Triton - 7.0 to 7.5 litres per 100klm on the highway. Towing my 1 tonn boat at 105kph average I get about 10.5 litres per 100klm on relatively flat highways. Having said that fully laden and towing, with a large tent on the roof etc that would probably go to 12 per 100k. I have thought about long range tanks. There are a few to choose from. Brown and Davis probably do the best although even then you hear off the odd issue. Departure and approach angles are preserved however they do tend to sit lower and are more vulnerable than the stock tanks. For now I will probably stick with the 2 (or 3) x 22l jerry cans in the back and the Flow-N-Go to fill the main tank from the tub straight into the main filler...pretty easy, safe and mess free as a diesel. Another reason I am liking the ute (with canopy) over the wagon - no fumes and safer for fuel storage. Cheers

Strewth. That's only a little less than my Oka carries.

The previous owner of my D3 told me it had a long range tank but neglected to tell me the total volume, merely saying he put in 100L at a time around the city. I thought cool, I get roughly an extra 20L over a standard tank. So, I waited until the fuel light came on before I filled up for the first time to gauge it's total capacity. As soon as I hit the 100L mark I proceeded to do a slow top up, and you can imagine my surprise when it just kept going, and going and going...

I think we need a new thread - Auxilliary fuel tanks Yes or No.
Then this thread might get back on track re the Ineos Grenadier

Have you not read the fine print behind the thread title
I’m sure if I put my glasses on it says Long Range Tanks in there somewhere

I did read "do you reckon it'll take off?" but thankfully I haven't read any aeronautical discussion.

When was the last time that you saw a thread remain on topic?

My rule of thumb - if a thread has passed 100 posts, then you should be able to go off topic! After 100 replies to the OP you are adding very little to the overall discussion.
