    Longranger Tank Questions

    I am getting my Longranger Aux tank and Kaymar rear bar fitted next month.

    Is the fuel transfer from the Aux tank automatic?

    No.. You have to pump it there (press the switch )

    you can setup a transfer relay that powers up the pump when the low warning light comes on and leaves it on till the transfer pressure/flow drops to 0.

    mowog,

    how much is this going to cost if you don't mind my asking? I've been considering putting the long range tank system in - not sure which version.

    Is this something you need to do yourself, of is it a kit you can fit (or if like me and a bit impatient, so stuff things up, get an expert to fit)?

    Its going to cost $5400 with the Kaymar rear bar paint matched. Not a cheap exercise. But when towing the caravan you really need the extra fuel. Around town we will only have to fill it every month or so after the tank is fitted.

    its not available as a kit straight off the shelf that Im aware of.

    given the schematic for it and the instructions pretty much any mechanic should be able to install it purchasing the parts as required.

    its fairly DIY though if you want to save a motza of dollars.

    Something to keep in mind. I guess that the push button transfer is simple enough though.

    The Longranger switch is neat, and the pump is audible ( loud ) if you are outside the vehicle. Dependant on how it is wired in, it is not something that you will forget about, if you are halfway through pumping over.

    There are gravity fed options that are ok. I must admit I was sceptical about them, but they do work. Essentially the main filler is rerouted to the new aux tank, and this in turn gravity feeds into the OE main tank. No pumps, and it will keep your main tank full. I suspect you won't know how much fuel you have though, until the main tank actually starts to run down, as I don't believe they have a gauge as std.
