G'day guys!
Proud owner of a 1990 GQ TD42 Wagon. Have been touring the last 6 months, just got to Perth and have been slowly building up the beast to maximise its touring capability- mostly concentrating on ride, fuel economy and safety.
Have been tossing up the idea of a long-range tank for a while, as carrying 3x25L jerries and loading/unloading from the roff is wearing thin. Like to carry lots of fuel, for both safety as well as ability to bypass towns where fuel is $1.80L+.
What is better: Buying/installing an auxillery tank to the original tank, or replacing the lot with a big long ranger?
Have sniffed around, apparently buying brand new sets back over $1000 (not including fitting).
Anyone in the same boat, or experienced the same situation?
