Long Range Fuel Tank
Hi Kyro,
I have LRA "120" litre unit. Replaces the stock tank. Fitted by Suburban4wd who did a neat and tidy job.
My Opinions:
Well constructed, seems strong, have "sat" on it a few times with only minor marking.
Makes good bull-bag jacking point :D
Excellent range with diesel, On road I regularly get well over 1000km per tank, usually more than 1200km, Best around 1450km.
Can easily "feel" the weight of a full tank compared to empty. Ride height is noticably different empty to full even with add-a-leaves. On road handling and ride much better with all that weight down so low when full.
Although 120L capacity I have filled it with 125L on occasion when I have run it close to empty.
For me, fuel guage reads full for first approx 200km then approx 125km per 1/8 tank ( YMMV )
I have heard of others having guage problems with same and other brand tanks. When I get low fuel warning I fill with about 110L and have about 100km in reserve.
Runs a little closer to rear diff, makes oil change a little cramped. Not a big problem just "less easy".
Can hear fuel "slosh" on occasion, usually when just below a full tank.
Comes with drain plug on forward facing vertical face.
Gripe:-
Hangs a fair bit lower than stock tank so makes me want more lift, hangs up a little more when "rock-hopping".
Overall wouldn't swap back to stock tank now.
Cheers.
