Long Range Fuel Tanks Now Available at Exit Offroad

Working with the best brands in the business, Exit Offroad is now a dealer for Long Range Automotive (LRA) Fuel Tanks!! These are Australian made for the tough needs of the long-distance tourer who just can’t get by with their stock fuel tank. Keeping additional fuel on board is a necessity when heading out into nowhere, or even yet when hitting the interstate for a cross-country voyage to get to the unknown, and carrying that fuel can be extremely tricky in some vehicles as there’s only so much room available. Sure, jerry cans are very cheap and hold fuel quite well, but where will you keep them? And how much can you carry? 10 gallons? Why not just replace your original tank with a bigger one, or add an auxiliary tank in the back? With these options from LRA, you could double or even triple your fuel capacity. It varies by vehicle of course, and all of the common US-spec vehicle tanks are now listed on this website.

There are 2 types of tanks being offered. The most simple one is a replacement tank, that replaces your original tank with a larger tank, reusing all the original fuel pickup lines, fuel sender, and all those parts that connect to your OE tank. Super simple to install, and adds good capacity. The 2nd type of tank is an aux (auxiliary) tank that fits behind the rear axle, in front of the rear bumper. This is usually where a spare tire was mounted on most vehicles. These tanks can vary in size, but they’re normally 20-30 gallons or so, and they feed fuel from there over into the main tank. This is the best way to maximize your range, with the only downside being that the spare needs to be moved to the rear bumper, but don’t worry, because we sell rear bumpers for most vehicles as well!!

Alright, so you’ve added a larger tank, but what could you do with it? If you have an FJ Cruiser for example, with a stock 19 gallon fuel tank, and your vehicle is lifted with bumpers front and rear, gear for a trip, people, food, and beer of course, you’re lucky to be getting 14MPG. That’s 266 miles on a good day from completely full to absolutely empty. Every 3 hours of freeway driving you’ll need to stop and refuel, taking up time every time you need to do that. With an aux tank from LRA, adding 30 gallons will add a little over 400 miles of range to your existing tank. Not enough? OK, replace the main tank too for an additional 11 gallons, and now you’re up to a total of 79 gallons, which is pretty ridiculous, but now you could potentially go for 1106 miles before you have to fill up!!! That’s a lot of fuel for sure, but you won’t be relying on finding gas stations for days. You get where we’re going here.

Imagine another scenario where you live in the south where hurricane evacuations could come into play. Fuel up, and don’t worry about finding fuel when leaving town. You’ll be all set, and have the capacity you need to get far away without needing to stop for fuel.
