Thanks. I considered replacing the broken switch with a 0-90 Ohm fuel gauge and switch combo but I already had the wiring in place and a hole in the dash. Long Range America still has not responded about a replacement so I went directly to the supplier (Blue LPG) for a replacement as it was...
Pic 21) The modified 3" exhaust is fit-up. (removed 2-1/2" at this exhaust flange - no rotation. 2" or 2-1/4" would have been better for panhard clearance.)
Pic 22) 3" PPD exhaust routing... almost an inch of clearance to tank!
pic 23) Added the removed 2-1/2" section back here just before the...
Pic 16) Pulled tank into position from the floor with a couple ratchet straps until I could lift the tank with a pair of RV jacks.
Pick 17) My rickety rigging. I kept the ratchet straps on for safety until the tank bolts were started. Watch for snags and carefully jack into place.
Pic 18) Bolts...
Pic 11) Added my own 2-wire connector to facillitate future tank removal. Soldered connectors, then tested resistance back to cab.
Pic 12) Prepped transfer pump for installation: mounted onto supplied plate. found longer bolt to install on diff vent line bolt.
Pic 13) Using the supplied...
Pic 11) attaching the filler hoses. connected to main tank.
Pic 12) Hoses ready to connect to auxiliary tank. Note the transfer line tee-ed into the main tank vent line. (not sure if that's where it's supposed to go but its easy to access.)
Pic 13) Another view
14) The transfer pump and...
Pic 6) Cut out and removed the old filler and vent line - note i used a hacksaw since it was diesel. I think if it was a gasser I might want to use a Tubing cutter. You can also remove both lines at the main tank but it looks like a big chore. Had a 10 lb extinguisher on standby.
Pic 7) You...
Just started installing a 90L Long Ranger Auxiliary Tank into a 1991 HDJ-81 Diesel Truck. Couldn't find another post on this so upping a few pics as I go. Posting here as I think it is largely applicable to US Spec gassers (except I didn't have to remove the tire carrier.)
Pic 1) The LR...
I've had driveshaft flange nuts come loose while highway driving with a couple go missing. Probably didn't install them properly in the first place. The vibration was a give-away before things got out of hand. Definitely need to tighten these suckers good and try to get them all torqued evenly...
They can be wired manually, but you will want to have indicator lights wired to the engagement switch. I think slee has a wiring diagram on their site.

Yeah what is that thing? Does it work with no-one pressing on the pedal? To get all the fluid out of the master I would think one or two pumps is required. Beats my check valve on the drain line method if it works.
