Jay,

I'm in. But depends to some extent on the shipping. If we have enough interested, can we also explore a bluk discounted install from someone reliable? I'd be hesitant to tackle a gas tank install for obvious reasons.

Rohitash, let me ask someone who has done this work before and see if they will installed it for you for a "labor" cost.

Put me in the "On the fence" category, depending on timing and shipping as well, as I still have not received my rear bumper (on which the spare would have to go).

I have the long ranger combo tank installed on my 100. It is designed for 100s with an OEM sub tank. All I had to do is remove the OEM sub tank, spare, and install this tank in their place. The OEM sub tank pump, filter, hoses, etc. fit on the long ranger combo tank.

For a clean install one would probably need to source some OEM parts for the sub tank (dual filler, pump, filter, hoses, sender unit, dual fuel gauge, etc.).

The picture in the first post was a result of an email I sent them. I had a hard time bending the OEM sender unit to get a reasonable reading. After drawing that picture to me and explaining how it should work I got it working fine. Basically, it will show that the tank is full until all the fuel above the sender unit runs out. Then it will start showing the actual level.

Siglo,

Thank for posting your combo tank. Can you show a photo on how you refill your water tank?

Yeah, the Long Ranger web site mentioned that this model TR62, the gas level meter only works when the gas is at least halfway down due to the water tank's shape interfernce.

This photo below is what water system items will be installed on my truck.

Cheers,

Snook,

I'd like more information about the system you are setting up. The combo tank has two outputs for water btw. Does the heat exchanger has its own pump?
I thought about a setup like that but what I would really like to have is push button on the shower head to have water on demand. Is something like that possible with the pump and accumulator you've shown?
About the heat exchanger, after a cold night (near freezing temps), how long does it take the engine to run in order to get warm water?

My car is being serviced right now so I can't take detailed pics. These are a couple of old pics I found right after the tank was installed.
This is a closeup of the filler hose. Just a regular hose with a cap. It looks different on newer models though.

This shows the engine compartment where you can see the filler hose in the upper right corner

If you have AHC or a slee slider, you might face a little trouble passing the filler hose beside the frame. It should attached to the outside of the frame cause on the inside it gets very close to the exhaust. I had to pass it along side the inside of the frame rail. I wrapped it with insulator and I keep some water in the tank all the time so I didn't face any with it melting from the exhaust heat.
 
Your photos is worth a thousand words!

Two outputs: The one on your side of water tank and?

How many input? One in your engine bay, just one, which side?

RV water pump that run when the water pressure dropped:

If you closed your shower head valve to save water, the interior water pressure will then reached 40 to 45PSI, it simply stopped pump.

A heat resistance reflective sleath is used to wrap up water hoses (see red sleath cover in earlier photo below the exchange heater)

Slee's shower kits comes with mini-suction pump & hose which will be use to fill up the water tank if there is a water source nearby.

Once the engine coolant is warmed, then it's ready.

I will post more photos tonight.

Cheers,
 
Thanks to Siglo for posting those pics. Every little bit helps. :cheers:

I think I may be going it alone in South Fla as I doubt there is anyone around here who has worked on anything but a swamp buggy! Oh well, let the chips fall where they may.

I'm still in!

The two outputs are on the side of the tank. One is used for the supplied faucet and the other one is meant for a shower I guess. I've just kept the plug they supplied for the second output in.

There is only one input to the water tank. The supplied hose is barely long enough to run from the back along the driver side frame and into the engine compartment. There is also a breather hose in the back on the driver side. The breather hose is routed from the side of the tank, above the OEM gas filler, and then down besides the driver side rear fender. If you use a pump to fill the tank, you could probably fill it through the breather hose. You'd have to make sure it breathes elsewhere though while you fill it.

Thanks for the link, I was searching for something like that. the 2 GPM model seems perfect :)
