Thread: Long Range Tank vs Jerry Cans

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/

I think you're right - a sill tank would be better value, being an extra 70L instead of an extra 35 in a replacement tank. I can live with the extra sender and pump. I'll make some enquiries.

Oops, you have a 110, anyways they make a 70 litre one that fills from under drivers seat

Well made tanks I will be getting one of those I reckon. I have a 136L one in the Sherwood and it has been very good. 17 years on and 300,000km no leaks, plenty of dents but no leaks, it was a 3.9, then a 4.6 petrol and then became a diesel

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.

Found them on a LR site.....Recovery Equipment $70 U.S.

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... 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.
