Long range fuel tank

And let's not forget the hassle of freight and sourcing your connections and hoses for fitting.

Yeh see it Al. Only problem is it has had petrol in it.

I'd rather buy new if I could. Then I know history.

What is the concern with petrol?

Petrol I'm diesel doesn't quite work very well. I would have to get it flushed.

Rusty

I would flush it - drop a litre of diesel in, swish it around and pour it out.

There are petrol injection systems for diesels - they add some % extra power with it. A small amount of petrol left in your fuel tank shouldn't worry you at all.

The greater concern is with the interior finish of the tank. If it's started rusting on the inside you could be in for some considerable trouble.

 

[RustyNav09]

Petrol injection is through stir intake isn't it? Same as lpg injection. I was thinking about the petrol setup as it doesn't need to be tested every so many years.

Are you guys assuming petrol tanks rust and diesel tanks dont ?

If the concern is about residual petrol in the tank..then that's a simple fix

That's not an assumption I'd make with a petrol tank. It's an assumption I'd make about a second-hand tank of any description.

Thinking about buying a long ranger but for the cost of on
Arb can jam it lol I came across a couple of stainless cub

Hello do you have any pic would like to build my own am a boily by trade

The welds on the 4wdSystems tanks weren't awesome.

I picked up 1 cheap a while back, was gonna get it rewelded but didn't have the time.

Sold it to Tanz on here, he got a good buy.

I brought a Longranger, constantly get a safe distance of 1100km's before the fuel light comes on. Usually comes on at 1150km's.

. Any pic would like to build my own
