long range fuel tanks
:: The Long Ranger :: Land Rover Discovery
Has anybody modified the fuel system with a long range tank? How do they work? Do they replace your 25 gallon tank with a bigger tank or is it an addition to the existing tank? Has anyone used the tank above?
A long range tank is something I just learned about and Im adding it to my mod list for later down the road, perhaps while im getting the chassis repaired or swapped out.

Land Rover back then was smart enough to put the full size spare on the rear door.... this is not a mod I need now nor could afford but its something for later down the road when I get serious about off roading overland style. 3 jerry cans will do the job for my upcoming overland journey and it will all be on the pavement. But later on when my build is complete id like to go on a 2 week trek through remote Alaska with my truck, do some serious offroading and have a blast. Will be very far from fuel stations, far from any stores so it would be a good idea to have higher fuel capacity. Add a larger gas tank with jerry cans and suddenly this truck can go so much further on a full tank of gas

Lucky8 has a solution for you Triar. It's not cheap but they have a replacement larger gas tank that you could bolt on. Unfortunately the other popular long distance fuel mod to add an aux tank doesn't work on our lhd disco's. (At least as a bolt on)
If you buy one, let me know how it goes, order time is apparently 4 weeks. I'll be getting one before I do the dalton highway run up to prudhoe bay next spring. It's a 128ltr tank so considerably bigger than stock, but as others have said, carrying jerry cans is considerably cheaper. (I'll be doing both)
I think that lucky8 is sourcing their gas tanks from here but I could be wrong. http://www.safari-equip.co.uk/pages/discovery-fuel-tanks/
