Thread: Auxiliary tank recommendation for D4

Yes I'm a little over the limit. The load is compact and did not affect the handling as far as I could tell.

And yes; I was wrong about the weight of a wheel and tyre. Mine weigh 36kg.

The first picture shows the fuel hose draining into the tank. The other shots are of the car from various angles while we had fun in the desert.

That's a really nice looking setup I know it's been possibly asked before but what brand is that spare wheeler carrier looks good!!

Also does anyone know of any replacement tanks for the normal one i know it sounds stupid but I would just like an extra like 20 or 30 litres just to make it easier to drive the highway without stopping, fueling is a pain!

Had a longranger fitted to my D4 and happy with it so far. Led gauge is handy
And transfer takes about 25 min, just got to remember to switch it off, nice if it beeped..... Will carry back up electric pump for big trips and at least if you forget to switch it off on my set up it fills the factory tank then overflows back into the longranger tank so no embarrassing Exxon Valdez in the street !

Red back what is the difference between LRA and long ranger automotive
I have just bought a second hand LRA tank but struggling to find info on it although the pics of the long range are almost identical except for where float mounts
Any have fitting instructions they can post on here?

Thanks

From the photos it looks like it could be the Outback Accessories model available form Opposite Lock. But that said they all look pretty similar.

Don't think so. The Outback Accessories one has the wheel closer to the outside (RHS) of the vehicle and partially blocks the right tail light - and you have to have an extra tail light fitted with them to comply with the regs.

Steelwork is also quite different - the Outback Accessories one has basically one horizontal member across the bottom (just above the bumper) with a single vertical upright in the centre that the wheel attaches to. There are no diagonal braces / members.

Not the best photos - but you might be able to see the differences in these.



This is an Outback Accessories wheel carrier.
