I have the LRA tank - absolutely no problems at all. I can only get 100L into mine at the first click off at the fuel pump.

Thanks. I assume you haven't kept filling to see if it takes any more.

Also thanks Tombie. I haven't asked the price of a Long Ranger having been put-off by the stories of the pump but will find out.

All I need now is to find out that my guess for the truck gearbox rebuild early next month is way too low!

When it's full - it's full. I can manage to squeeze in another litre maybe, but that's all.
One good thing is that it empties completely - the very first fill was also 100L

That's not very good only fitting 100L when they advertise 108L. I wonder if they include the expansion area but 8L seems a lot for that.

The current long ranger is 104 liters. The rear subframe of a D4 had a different cross member and the Long Ranger guys modified the original D3 108 liter tank.

Found out all that when I got a cheap long ranger out of ARB and spoke to the fellow who designed the Disco tank.

Perhaps LRA chopped out more capacity and haven't updated their resellers or their web-site.

Graeme do you have any details on the LRA tank I managed to get one cheap second hand but it is missing any filler and hoses. Float/ sender unit intact
What fuel pump does it come fitted with normally?
I am toying with the idea of making it a gravity feed tank

Any observations on this method appreciated

Something doesn't gel there. The tank was always 104 litre. I have an early D4 and purchased a LongRanger tank for a D3, with the arrangement to provide feedback or return the tank if it would not fit. Apart from a bit of cosmetic stuff around the filler neck ( the D4 has a slightly different neck due to the wrong fuel device ) there were no changes required. The tank bolted straight in ! The tank was listed as the TA62A 104 litre, suits all D3 models ! As there is bound to be a litre or two sloshing around the pump can't pick up, 104 litres is pretty accurate
