FAQ’S

Warranty Information – https://longrangeamerica.com/tank-warranty-registration/tank-limited-warranty/

Can I fit your 100 Series long range aux tank myself?
LRA Auxiliary and Replacement tank fitment is best undertaken by an experienced well equipped workshop.

Do I require an aftermarket guard to protect my 100 Series long range aux tank?
LRA tanks are constructed from 2mm aluminized steel and fully baffled internally, therefor a separate guard is not required.

Do you sell spare parts?
Long Range America does sell and service all parts and components in our current range.  Located in Boise, Idaho.

Do your replacement tanks come with a sender unit or do they use the original sender?
All replacement tanks will use the vehicles original sender unit.

Does LRA quote usable gallons or total tank capacity?
LRA does quote usable gallons bearing in mind that driving conditions can have a bearing on this.

Does the Distance to Empty function in my vehicle still remain accurate?
The distance to empty function on your trip computer will not remain accurate. The vehicles ECU has the capacity of the original tank programmed into it and the DTE counts down as the float starts to move from Full to empty. The closer you get to empty the more accurate the DTE becomes.

It is incorrect to say that once the fuel gauge starts to move you only have the capacity of the original tank left. In general the Longrange replacement tank has a greater surface area than the original tank and there is a portion of fuel above the full limit of the float that needs to be used before the gauge starts to move.

It is important to remember that the actual fuel gauge will read correctly at empty.

We suggest that to become familiar with how your fuel gauge registers once you have your Longrange tank fitted you refill your tank from quarter, half and three quarters of a tank and take note of the amount of Liters you can put in.

Another tip is to reset one of your trip meters every time you fill your tank, over time you will be able to establish how far you can travel in different driving conditions.

Does the tank kit come with everything needed to complete the install?
Our tanks come with everything required to complete the installation. On some occasions a muffler change is required, we will make a note of this on the ‘Exhaust’ section of the tank specification.

How many liters of fuel per minute does the fuel pump transfer on my auxiliary tank?
The transfer rate is 2lt per minute

Will my exhaust need to be modified?
Some of our tanks will require exhaust modifications, please refer to the ‘Exhaust Notes’ in the product specifications.

Will my fuel gauge remain accurate on a factory twin tank model vehicle that only has one gauge?
On factory twin tank vehicles with only one fuel gauge (ie: 200 Series Toyota Landcruiser & 150 Series Toyota Prado), the gauge is fed by two sender units.

200 Series Landcruiser – This has a 93lt main tank and a 45lt sub tank. From Empty to 2/3 full the gauge is reading from the main tank (93lt) and from 2/3 full to full the gauge is reading from the sub tank (45lt). When the 45lt sub tank is replaced by our 170lt tank this means 2/3 full to full is now represented by 170lt. It will take a long time to move down to 2/3 full. When this occurs you know the 170lt is empty and you now have 93lt left.

150 Series Prado – This has a 87lt main tank and a 63lt sub tank. From Empty to just over 1/2 full on the gauge is reading from the main tank (87lt) and from just over 1/2 full to full the gauge is reading from the sub tank (63lt). When the 63lt sub tank is replaced by our 136lt tank this means just over 1/2 full to full is now represented by 136lt. It will take a long time to move down to 1/2 full. When this occurs you know the 136lt is empty and you now have 87lt left.

Will my fuel gauge remain accurate with a long range fuel tank?
This does differ a lot from vehicle to vehicle. Most replacement tanks will tend to hang on full for a while until the fuel level that is above the upper level of the float is used. Low fuel warning lights will generally come on at the same level as the original tank but with a greater reserve capacity as the tank has a larger surface area.
