Article Overview - Long Range Fuel Tanks
A large number of outback treks involve long distances between fuel outlets. Jerry cans are dangerous, difficult to store and not as convenient as a long range fuel tank. View Full Article...
Has any one any info on s/h long range tanks for a FJ60 Wagon. My son wants to take out his gas conversion and replace his 45lt tank with a much larger one. Any ideas

There is often a used long range tank for sale in the local classifieds for a 60.
A Long Ranger tank would be the best buy. New they cost about $800 or so.
The best ones are the ones where you just plug and play

If the standard 90 litre tank plus the 45 litre sub tank would be enough fuel capacity, you could try a gas conversion place - they usually have a pile of the originals out the back which were removed for the conversion in the first place.

Could be pretty cheap, too. A friend with a 60 series on dual fuel (gas tank inside car) had a fuel leak the first time he filled it with petrol. I suggested he go to a gas place, since they know what the tank fittings are, and hence where it was leaking.

They thought it might be a rusted top, and were going to drop it out and replace with one from out the back - $150 cash quoted.

It turned out to be a fractured hose which they replaced - all for $70.
