Hi all,
2 weeks ago I put in a Long Ranger fuel tank via ARB. This extended the volume from 87L factory to 133L.
The cost was about $1500, but a small price to pay for some touring distance and not having to carry fuel in the vehicle or up high on the roof.
Of course, this messes with the computer distance to empty and a little with the fuel guage and warning light.
I have learnt so far, that when my fuel low light came on for the first time, I filled up within a few mins and could only squeeze 100L into the tank.
Wow big residual if this continues??
When I filled up, the guage went up to just under full, so I set the ODO to see what range I get. The fuel L/100 ave still seems to work so a little math may be required for longer trips.
Hope this helps others thinking of doing a similar thing.
Cheers, Shane.
