long range tank for GQ

hay there Barnesy.......not a hard job do it all from underneath....may have to remove bumper and rear step........the only thing is when you change the sender unit over..have a look at the contact solder points.....may be worn ..so i would change sender unit while tank is out as.with the extra size.....sender may crap out quicker......and you'll have to drop it all again....and that's a pain......also genuine sender is .......$500 roughly..............hear in Perth

Can be done by 1 person, but MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH easier with 2... Even easier if you have a Crazie laying round

Takes few hours, the tank has 2mm clearance in spots which means some twisting and turning, one end in first, then up this side, drop that end etc... Fuel filler hose has to be modded, and as said, check the sender while out.

I would doubt it would cost anywhere near that round here...

G'day Barnsey, my wife and I did ours, with two it's a piece of cake, I used the original sender out of mine(not a problem so far, coming up for 3years). Yes it's tight but 2mm I would dispute that, may vary on different years of GQ??. Give it a go you have nothin' to lose

As said before, easier with two people or it just takes a little longer.

The senders on GQ are known to fail, but you should have an access hole in the floor which would let you take it out later should that happen.
In theory it should last longer in a bigger tank because it goes up & down less, also the longranger fuel tank has a baffle/dam thing in it which helps to stop fuel sloshing about, which the genuine doesn't.

If your towbar obscures the removal of the rear bolts for the tank, you may need to take this off to fit the tank and unfortunatly this means you gota take the bumper off to do that.

Just doit

Thanks for responding. I think I will give it a go. $400 is 2 fills in the new long range tank.
