Thread: Long Range Tank vs Jerry Cans

LONG RANGER one is about 1300 depending on what year your defender is.

no clue what a OEM one costs

Hunt around the wreckers for a second hand long ranger.

I scored one from Triumph Rover spares for $100!!!!! It cost me $100 to freight from SA to Brisbane, then $200 for repairs (remove dents, pressure test and paint) then installed myself...

But I need to fiddle with the sender as the gauge either reads 3/4's full or empty....

I still carry two jerry's in the tub. I'l get a picture on the weekend...but I know this is no good to you Ranga as you now have a tray. Can you lift the tray up on new mounts and get a flat rectangular tank made to sit between the chassis and tray? Then you could just gravity feed into standard rear tank.

Cheers
Andrew

I now have a leaky tank in the 03 130 and am looking at getting the long range replacement.

How much is the replacement tank compared to the original tank?

Regards Easo

Long Range Australia replacement tanks are about $750 from British Offroad, and are apparently almost identical to the Long Ranger tanks.

I've already lifted the tray to fit 2 spares under it, but not sure if I'll have enough room for an extra tank. Not a bad idea though.

Cheers, an original tank is about the same, yes / No?

No sure, but to clarify, the Long Range Australia replacement tanks are about 125 litres.

Just watch the weight back there mate!

Don't want to join the number of 130s that bend/break when heavily loaded on Aus tracks.
