    Which long range tank

    as per title really. I'm looking to buy a long range main tank (so around 146l) to replace the main on my 2010 GU.

    What are the major differences between the brands?

    So far i'm looking at

    LongRanger - $1030
    Outback Accessories - $1130

    what other brands are there out there, and what are people's experiences with the different ones?

    I have a Long Ranger 147lt out of a GQ in my GUIV (bolts straight in) worth looking around for a second hand on e au if you can find one. LRA belly tank is a whole other story though! Rare as bloody hens teeth.

    LRA are highly regqrded

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I've been hunting for a second hand belly tank for a GQ for a while now and as MR suggested they are rare as.

    Have you considered bolting on an auxiliary tank like this?

    I have, but you gain less than by replacing the main tank.

    that being said, if i could get a proper Long range belly tank for a good price....
