The best post on subtanks, Period.

Just a question: since you welded the plate that hold the new level switch on the main tank, could this welding be more prone to rust or did the shop something to protect the surrounding area ?

As many are aware the aussie Long Ranger and LRA aux tanks are made of aluminized steel and sooner or later they start to rust from the inside only at the welding points.

Regarding the inside color, we never got the grey interior only the tan. But unfortunately we also never got the aux tank.

And only on the VX top of the line trim you can find the sub tank access port under the rear cargo carpet, the others didn't have it.
