As some of you know Long Range America does not currently/officially offer any fuel tank upgrade for the 2005+ 100 series. The auxiliary tank has issues which can be found elsewhere on this forum. Rumor has it the 150L/40g main tank can be made to fit and work but the process has not been properly documented. I intend to document the process here and share my findings with Aiden at LRA, they’re located just 5 minutes down the road from me. Input/advice from the Mud community is greatly appreciated.
I've heard a few changes were made in the fuel system post 2005. For posterity my 2007 LC100 was built 10/06.
I have a 1/2" body lift, I don't predict this will have an impact on installation but of course I will make note if it does. Since the tank is secured to the body shell it is a possibility.
I replaced the fuel pump 07/22 but otherwise have not touched the fuel system since @2001LC did so much work to this LC. As far as I know the EVAP canister and the rest of the EVAP system is original with 212k miles.
I have heard there could be differences in the crossmember, the early roll over valve 77380-26010 will be needed and that "...some modifications may be needed to the fuel pump lockdown ring on late production 2004 models." Other than that I am flying blind and will learn and report as I go. If anyone here has experience with 100 series fuel tanks (stock or LRA) please don't hesitate to chime in.
I’m also curious to know the weight gain. The LRA tank is a heavy gauge steel and is claimed to tip the scales at ≈120lbs dry. 13.2g of additional fuel will weigh about 80lbs.
LRA's instructions can be found here
@87warrior's install on a 1999 LC can be found here
That being said, this isn't a "How to" thread. This will hopefully cover the differences found between this and earlier 100's, some solutions and anything else I find noteworthy.
I'll be pulling my original tank today. I plan to take my time and do a thorough job of it but hopefully it won't be off the road for too long. I’m really looking forward to having 50% more range that is integrated seamlessly into the vehicle.
