Any idea of the capacity of a 1994 130 HCPU? The most I've ever put in it is ~65 litres.
I like the idea of a replacement tank, as there's no need for extra pumps.

82 litres I think., a problem with the bigger rear tanks is the loss of, or lower mounting of, the rear sway bar. Obviously if you aren't running one it doesen't matter but I am intending to keep mine so I am going the Sill tank route. 65litres on top of 80 odd is a good capacity. Your 130 can fit a longer larger sill tank, up to 70 litres from memory. Take a squiz at http://www.thelongranger.com.au/Quote:

Dolium make a 175ltre tray tank for the 130. Pat
I have both a 110, and a 130 actually ;). The tank is for the 130, the 10 is for sale.Quote:

You can buy a near new 250L TIG welded alloy transport tank off a Freightliner complete with all fittings and fuel gauge sender for $500 from the truck Spares place at Rocklea...they replace them when the trucks come into the country with larger ones so they sell ' em off (relatively) cheap!... I got one and mounted it crossways on my camper trailer drawbar.... I'd rather be trailing 200L of diesel than ULP, but since the P38 has a V8...:mad: beggars can't be choosy...!
Ranga,
lose the tub and put on a tray. Two options then
- easily fit a second 75L tank between tray and OEM tank.
- orrr space saved = a 44! 215L long range tank should get you out of most trouble.

Hi, it comes down to what you can afford as sill tanks are quite expensive. The installation is also quite involved. This is how we did ours and we did a similar install on our daughters car.

Additional advantaged of fuel storage in tanks:
Lower center of gravity, especially if jerrys are carried on the roof
Less fuel stops in day to day driving, being able to take advantage of discount fuel cycles
Increase in resale (not necessary the same as initial investment.
Also. if you are doing the big loop, I doubt there is anywhere with more than 400kms between stops on the main road.
