G'day
Thinking about getting a Longranger Fuel tank for "WHITEY" my hilux TD Dualcab. Are there any problems with these Tanks.
Cheers

I replaced both the standard tanks in our GU with LRA tanks. Capacity now 220 lts. Useable fuel load is just over 200 litres. Still have to carry three jerrys in the load area. The tanks have given me no problems so far, I fitted the replacement main tank (146 lts) myself and the 75lt sub tank was fitted by the vendors (ECB) choice of engineering mobs. They did the eng. certificate for both. One issue I did have was with the sub tank, it hangs down 50mm below the bottom of the chassis rail. After we put a small ding in it we thought better of postponing the
suspension lift. Lifted her up 50mm, or so the brochure said. More like 100mm! Of course that lifted the rooftop tent's walls clear of the ground. They are being extended as I type. No sweat but, it's only money...

Problems with modifying things. Change something and there is always something else needs changing too.
Don't be too quick lengthening the sides of the canvas, give it a few years and spring sag will save a lot of the trouble :-)
