Default Who does long range fuel tanks for the XJ?

As the title states, looking for a long range tank as i never want to be left short on a long trip. Looking for something solid and/or with some form of protection.

Anyone care to share their experience, will be much appreciated.

Cheers

AFAIK, the only company that does long range tanks for the XJ is LRA. From what I have read they are the goods.

I have a 120lt Brown Davis tank in mine. I've backed into a stump with it and ridden up over it taking the weight of the XJ on it, it got a slight dent at the rear edge but you cant even spot it in the pics

Folks, you make me crazy for wanting these things.

At the moment I'm building a permanent reserve fuel tank like the LRA, but remaining inside the "frame". Of course it will have a much lower capacity- therefore "reserve".
I don't like to carry Jerry cans inside the car.
Never heard about the Brown Davis.

Well there you go, I always though that LRA was the only one Always good to have options.

I believe 4WD Systems in South Australia (distributor of the Lokka) do a 125L tank as well.

There's also a ~55L aux tank by LRA I think that goes on the passenger side. I fantasize about winning Lotto and combining the two for up to 180L capacity
