I'm sure for the majority of your driving you wouldn't need a long range tank.


A LRT is safer than jerry cans in a car.

I understand that. But I'd rather carry a jerry then have that so called long range conversion.

The issue isn't the tank though. It's the lines running past that particular spot.

True, but he's got both tanks and the hardware why not use it?

Moving all the switching to the back and minimizing the lines as /\ /\ /\ those guys mentioned will work just fine, keep his capacity,and be safe.

I'd hate to see what the underside looks like.
At the end of the day it should be getting 300-400k's out of a standard tank and unless your in the middle of no where the only benefit of a long range tank it a bit of fill up time and a possible saving when fuel is cheap.

I would pull it all out and run a jerry for the longer trips if you need one.

or

Pull it out, put in a proper long range tank and run the standard lines.

But each to there own.

I can understand running dual tanks under a larger car, but two under a Sierra would be a squeeze.

Oh that;s right you guys have long range tanks available. We don't have those here. The most we get is 4 extra gallons from a petroworks tank, but those things hang lower than the stock unit and are bigger=Image
