Long range fuel tanks

[TRAIL TAILOR]

The tanks I'm looking at are a replacement tank, not an aux tank. 175L/46G capacity and use all the stock hoses, wires, etc.

@phrogg4evr asked so I thought I'd share.

All,

As far as mine, I will be in Australia in April to see the production, inspect the final product and the make my decision. The one mandatory item is that the tanks fit the US models (60, 80, 100 and 200) and all the US emissions equipment. They assure me that they can build to the US specs as they have US tank models to build off of and around. So, it "sounds" promising right now.

It's still a bit out and I will update when I can.

I would be interested in a larger capacity main tank. Keep us posted!

There is another option, US Spec'd select your material and dim's. Now that someone has gone to the trouble of making prints he would be the logical point person for a group buy to keep the prices low.

I had one of their replacement oversized tanks years ago in my CJ7, 26 gallon, integral skidplate, aluminized steel. That was 25 years ago, but it was a great tank. I'm looking at doing this with by BJ and Sprinter. Either way good luck!

I have a longranger tank on my 99 but looking for an option for my LX. You you will have the dual filler necks included so turn key?

If so I am very much interested. I love having 70+ gallons of fuel it by far is the best mod to my rig.

I'm just about a definite buyer as long as it'll fit with a Slee bumper.

Tag. This fixes my main complaint with the 100.

 

[SierraWheeler]

Definitely in for the 46G replacement main tank option. Wowzers that would be awesome!!

 

[Hayes]

Interest here.

I think it's important to note that with a 46 gallon tank, you'll be adding up to 405 lbs of weight behind the rear axle, with an empty weight of ~120 lbs
Calculate spring needs accordingly

My 100 on 325 wide 35s gets me a tick over 200 miles a tank. I pull up to a Prius and think "Man, if this guy really knew the truth". Good point on the weight though. I think I'd be cool with not filling it all the way up unless it was really necessary or gas prices were insanely cheap. Plus, it costs money just to haul that much fuel around. I think I'd fill it to just get me a 300+ mile in town range to keep the weight down a bit yet still have longer range than an electric car. Nice to have options though.
