Long Range Fuel Tanks

[Kenjo]

Hi All,

Any recommendations for the largest capacity replacement fuel tank for my fairly thirsty ’95 V8 Disco?

I normally carry extra fuel in jerry cans on our trailer. I’ve been thinking about a long range replacement tank for some time now but ARB and TJM only seem to have auxiliary tanks with pretty limited capacity. I’m sure some of you have been through this exercise before but a search of the archives wasn’t at all helpful.

Cheers,

Try Longranger.com or I think there is also Long Ranger may be the same. Also 4wdwharehouse I think have them.

Hi Craig,
I've looked at several web sites and all give pictures of a product but only the LRA site gives information for a Disco (145l replacement tank). I am interested in experience from anyone who has actually fitted replacement or auxillary fuel tanks to a Disco.

Cheers,
Kenjo

Mine is a defender but I have long ranger tanks. ons 127 litre and the other is 30 litres. I've had no problems with it. Try them and se what they can do for you.

Long Ranger are the tanks supplied by ARB and TJM. It was a while back when I went to their stores to ask these questions. If I recall correctly it was a 30 litre auxiliary they could fit for quite a lot of money. That's only the equivalent of one and a half jerry cans and would give me a total of 119 litres including the Disco main tank (89l I think it is). I do think they had a replacement tank also but only marginally bigger than the original. I guess the ALR 145 litre tank seems to be the go. I was hoping that maybe someone would know of a better solution.

Cheers,
Kenjo

I'm trying to get away from towing!
But that'd be the next best thing.
