I haven't done the CSR where you really need to look carefully at your options.

38kg actually. Only 110 extra on top of that if you fill it. Saying take jerries is fine, if you have the space, and the average family of four in a D3 not towing would not have. On the roof isn't a good idea either.

IMHO LR tanks are the very best way to carry extra fuel.

It was, unfortunately, the front sender:mad:. And my arm is not 6 foot long with at least three elbows.

I can live with it. The fuel guage now only uses the top half. When the tank's full, it reads full, when it's half full it reads at 3/4 full, and when it's empty it reads half full.

At the moment I have to replace the LHS EGRV; and do a double flush (~18 litres of oil that costs more than gold) and filter change on the transmission; so forking out for a new tank isn't on the cards!

Is that 110lts over the main tank or 110lts including the main?

Baz.

110 plus the main tak. So mine has a fuel capacity now of 193 litres from dry (being useable 104 litres in the aux and 89 litres in the OE tank - I know it's 89 litres 'cause 89.9 went in when I ran out)

A manufacturer in Melbourne wants a guinea pig for tank.
PM me and I'll put you in touch.:D

Guinea pig ...... that's an interesting new biofuel A ;)

I'm not sure a single guinea pig would hold much. And you'd need a lot of them to make a suitable tank from their skins.

for more info on the ARB tank go to :: The Long Ranger :: Long Range Fuel Tanks & Long Range Water Tanks :: all the info is there

A serious offer, they want to manufacture one. (a tank not a rodent):angel:

Thanks for any advice

I have the Longrange brand which is 110 litres :) It is separate from the main tank and uses an electric pump to tranfer fuel. There is the Longranger brand which I believe connects directly to the main tank and shares the fuel. I got my tank from TJM. I also have the Kaymar bar as having the spare underneath can be difficult to get out in some terrains, it is bad enough to get at even in the suburbs :mad:

Brown davis also make a 120 litre aux fuel tank. Brown Davis Automotive - Long Range & Auxiliary Fuel Tanks
