Wow, I’m getting around 350km @ 100 Kph, towing my new 2 1/2 ton van.
‘Needless to say, inland touring will be an issue re range, so an long range tank is required.
I know I’ll need to relocate my spare, so either an roof rack or Kaymar rear carrier.
The Kaymar would be the better option.
So, what’s the pros and cons of the available tanks?
i got an quote from ARB for around $2000 for an separate 100ish litre tank with transfer. I surmise it’s steel. That would give around 182 litres, or around 800 kms per fill which is a lot better than 300!
Thanks.

Ken, Kaymar won’t be a good option - it eats the GVM ..
Contact Rijidij - he has a new carrier that doesn’t interfere with the parking sensors either
As for tanks, I have the Longranger... pump transfer.. which gives me more control of when to transfer and how much I still have.
There are other gravity fed options that are good also, but just work by showing the tank full for a long time and then start moving once the auxiliary is empty.

Thanks fellas.
Great tip Tombie re the GVM, I’ll look into Ridjidij as suggested thanks mate.
‘Thanks Justin, yes, the 20.6 Zone Off Road is my Home now until I get Tassie sorted.

There's one on ebay ATM for a 2006 for $200. Don't know if compatible though (?)

Ken, I can carry 80L of fuel in 4 jerries on the front of my van. Your van has huge carrying capacity compared to most other vans. Wouldn't it be less disruptive to the D4 to let the van carry the fuel?
Just my thoughts.

Greatly increases risk of fuel contamination...
100kg on the front? Wow.. and no impact on ball weight?
Wizard
Tank or jerries, either way, the weight is behind the back axle. I would arguably have less on the D4 axle as the van carries some of the weight & my ball weight is way less than 350kg so adding another 60 or so kg to the ball is irrelevant. The additional weight needs to be carried somewhere regardless.
Not sure that I agree with the contamination issue. Just be clean when transferring.
I honestly cannot see the benefit of a long range tank & spare wheel carrier when towing a van with a decent payload. These additions permanently compromise the available carrying capacity of the tow vehicle for minimal benefit.
Like I said, just my thoughts & my own experience with similar equipment.

Another option is carrying the spare internally, either upright at the side of the cargo area or on the floor with a false floor above it.
